Is my 8 week old Barnevelder a cockerel?

This is what I think is a girl?

Hi! Did it end up being a male or female? I have 4, one had the same comb and wattles at 8 weeks old. It had some patterning on the chest like yours. I have 2 that have no comb or wattles, but 1 has a black chest. Then there's one with a comb and wattles half the size of the other.
The first 2 pictures are the one I think is the boy (cockerel). With the biggest comb and wattles.
Cockerel
This is the "I don't know"... maybe a boy? Maybe a girl?
Not 100% but I'd bet cockerel
 
What about the first picture? The one I thought for sure was a cockerel?

This one looks like a male with the dark chest and bigger comb.
 
Update: 4 months old now
1st bird: boy
2nd bird: boy
3rd bird: girl
4th bird: girl

I'll add pictures of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I got rid the the first one very early on, before I even posted pictures the first time. But he was definitely a boy.

Thank you to everyone who gave a guess. Very good guesses too! 😊👍
