I'm about to advertise my cockerels and don't want to accidentally mix up a pullet or two so seeking confirmation on two I think are pullets. They are all 12 weeks old and I have added a coloured dot to hopefully help.

First two, Red and Gold are mostly Australian Araucana (British tailed standard) Red is definitely a cockerel, hoping to confirm Gold is a pullet?

Black, Brown and Blue are silkie cross. Black and Brown are confirmed cockerels, wanting to confirm Blue is a pullet?

You got them right. Red, cockerel. Gold, pullet. Black, brown, cockerels. Blue, pullet.

Blue is a pullet, imo, because comparing her to black, she has no pointed saddle feathers. You can see above his tail, he has triangle shaped feathers (hackles), this is a cockerel trait, pullets have rounded feathers. Same applies to gold.
