Help with sexing flock

[Synderesis]

Hi all,

I have done a lot of reading on the forums but just decided to join. I purchased 6 chicks straight run from TSC and then the following day purchased 6 more chicks that are sexed pullets. They are now 8 weeks old and would like some help with sexing the straight run, as I'm not entirely sure and would like to solidify. I believe there are 2 barred rock, 1 rhode island red and 3 brahmas in the straight run. The 3 brahmas made it difficult to get a good picture of each, so I'm not sure if a sex can be determined but here goes...

8 Weeks old?
I think I see all birds pictured being cockerels. I didn't see any pullets. Maybe the first pictured BR, and the RIR in the first two pics.

Can you get more pic of the first BR? That one appears to be the only possible pullet

Agreed that rir looks like a pullet, I'm just assuming that one is from the sexed pullets that aren't in question

Actually, I'm going to change my mind. I think that the BR I was questioning is a cockerel as well. Had to go back and look at my BR to see what she looked like at that age.... here she is, when she was an 8 wk old pullet.

Thanks all! Yes, the RIR in the first two pics is a sexed pullet, not one in question. I will take some more pics of the BR that is possibly a pullet.

To be clear I don't really think it's a pullet either it's just the only one that could be. It looks like a cockerel too on it's own based on color just not as obvious as the other.

I have to agree, I'm thinking they might all be cockerels

Brahmas all cockerels, RIR definitely cockerel, BR 1 pullet BR 2 cockerel

Here's more pics of the less obvious suspected cockerel
