New to chickens! Breed and sex help please!

[Kaitlinjreese]

Hello! This is my first time having chickens and I’m so excited! We would like to have only pullets, but I am have troubles going back on forth on if they are pullets or cockerels. I’ve also had some difficulty determining breed! My husband picked them up and upon going he was going to get one Rhode Island Red, Wyandotte, one buff Orpington, and one ameraucana!
Upon arriving home with them, I know we don’t have a buff Orpington, due to none of them being the right color. The darker red, seems to be a Rhode Island Red, the black and white seems to be a silver laced Wyandotte, and I’m assuming the lighter brown one is an ameraucana or Easter egger? I’m not sure at all on the mainly white and speckled! They are all supposed to be 6 weeks old, we are already growing very attached to several of the chicks, so if one turns out to be a cockerel and isn’t one of our top favorites, we would like to swap him out while they are still young (the person we bought them from said we can swap out any roosters for hens whenever). I realize they may still be too young to sex by pictures, but any thoughts!? Thank you in advance!
Chili- Darker red- Rhode Island Red
Nutmeg- lighter brown - ameraucana?
Pepper- black and white - Wyandotte
Poppy Seed- white and black speckle- ???

All are Easter Eggers, except Pepper, who is a SLW. Pepper is male. Rest are female.

Agreed. Keep an eye on Chili, she looks like a pullet so far and is probably one, but she has some patches.

Thank you! That’s probably why I was having such difficulty figuring out the breeds! Still learning and a lot to learn! Pepper was the one that I was predicting to be a boy! If you don’t mind me asking, is it the reddish color of comb that sets him apart? Is there something else? Pepper is also a lot feistier than the others and wants nothing to do with us

The white shoulder patches are a giveaway for male SLWs.

Good to know! Thank you so much! Chili was the other one I was wondering about due to the tail feathers? They seem a bit longer and the shape of them? Chili is the most docile, calm and loves to be held, so even if chili turns out to be a cockerel, I think we will keep him if the personality stays sweet! We picked Chili and Pepper as the names could go either gender!

No problem! Chickens are a so much fun. When they are older and it's hot out get them a pool they love it. Mine go out every morning and sit around it as you can see in my pic

Oh my goodness, I love it! I can’t wait for it to warm up so they can explore and have more fun! We are finishing up the coop this week and it’s still quite cold at night here so they have been inside with us!
