Will you try to tell these for me? They are supposed to be all pullets...ONE of them has a different comb. They are gold laced Wyandotte’s. 5 of them have a comb that is close to the head without any types of protrusions. ONE has a small ridge forming.

@Emtpcruz - It is entirely possible that they are all Golden-laced Wyandottes. However the one oddball comb isn't an indication of the bird's sex. It is however a clear sign that the bird's phenotype is single combed. A trait that often pops up, especially in hatchery stock. So while they other four have rose combs, the one does not. It's a bit too early to determine whether they are male or female. We would need full body shots as well as close ups on the comb.
 
I bought 4 Buff Brahma pullets so I thought. All were the same size when I got them almost 5 weeks ago Now I am wondering if any are hens at all. I was told 3 rows of pea combs means rooster. Anyone have a clue as hen or roo?

6 months maybeeee
If it is 6 months old, it's a pullet. But it looks a lot younger than that. Also, it's a pekin mix.
Chick 5 and 6 are cockerels, the others are too young to be certain
The first is most likely a cockerel, the rest are too young

Im wondering if you can help me with my five chicks that I got on march 9th. I think they are around 4 wks old and cant tell if they are pullets or cockerels. I was told they were all pullets and only 2 days old when I got them on the 9th. I took two pictures of each bird one of side and the other pic is looking down at them. Any help would be great!

Thanks!
Too young

It has a single comb, which occasionally happens with hatchery wyandottes. Too young to sex.
