Need help on gender of my 8 week old chicks...

I agree that they all look like pullets also. I have been breeding BA's for a couple of years now and have been fooled. Give the BA's a little more time to be sure. The BR has the right coloring for a BR pullet but keep an eye on the waddles and comb. If they seem to grow out overnight she could turn out to be a cockerel. Good Luck!
 
I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that they are all girls! Funny thing is that the Barred Rock got a pinkish comb really early on, but things haven't really changed all that much with it over the weeks. At first we were completely sure s/he was a roo. But it's never really progressed so we have held out hope s/he's a hen. We are in the category of people that cannot have a rooster in town, although I'd someday love to have one if I lived in the country. And I will keep my eye on my BA Charmander as s/he is turning a bit redder than the other BA and is bigger.
 
All pullets...I have 7 - 10 week olds. 1 ee (she looks just like yours). I also have 1 BR, 2 BA's, 2 Cochins, and 1 SLW....You have all pullets!
 
:pI'm not very experienced but look like pullets to me and very pretty girls

Thank you, I think they are rather adorable myself lol!
 
I think the BR is a pullet, too. My BR boys all got spectacular combs and wattles pretty quickly.

I love your EE, she's awesome.
That first photo of her (EE) is so dang cute- she is very cuddly and will lay on your lap with her head hanging over while you stroke her back.
