Hen or rooster?

[Cluck2013]

Hen or rooster? All 6 weeks old. I have figured out all but these guys.
1, 3, & 5. Have white Easter egger father/ buff orpington mom

2. Silver wydonette, has rose comb w/ one yellow point at the top

4. Andalusion, black comb w/ some parts turning yellow

My guesses ...
#2 = Pullet
#1 = Cockerel
#3 = possible Cockerel
#4 = Pullet
#5 = Cockerel

#1 is a cockerel.
#2 is a pullet. She's not a purebred SLW, but probably a cross of one.
#3 and #4 are questionable. I would give then a couple of weeks. But agree #3 looks more like a cockerel than #4.
#5 is likely a cockerel.

1, 3, & 5 are cockerels. 2 & 4 are pullets.

Thanks guys! I was thinking that the white ones were leaning towards roosters. Any guesses as to why #2 has a rose comb, but one spike on the very top of the comb like a single comb would have? Never seen that before.

If it is a mix of birds with different combs, that kind of thing can happen. It can happen sometimes with purebreds, too. It's just not a perfect comb.

If you are sure this bird is a Wyandotte, then she fits the silver penciled color variety much better than silver laced.

Yes, she's a silver pencil. That's kind of neat about the combs. Never had one grow like that.

They are now 10 weeks old. What are your thoughts now? Number 5 acts like a rooster. The other 3 do have smaller frames.
