I'm a first time chicken mom..(love them!) All chicks came from a feed store, and are supposed to be pullets. They are 6 weeks old today. Any thoughts on their sexes would be fantastic!

Millie, the australorp.



Hazel the EE (sold as an Ameraucana)



Marigold, the EE




Rocki, the Barred Rock
(She is very grey looking on the pics, as she was just dusting herself.


They all look like pullets but Rocki maybe a cockerel.
 
I have a 13 week old Gold Laced Wyandotte that I would like to verify gender on. It is missing its longest tail feathers because it is at the bottom of the pecking order and lost them sadly.

The other two have very similar waddles and cones, esp the coloring.

The tails above where the tail feathers would be are actually rounded but the gold lacing is pointed.







It has been a very shy bird, until about the last 10 days it wouldn't approach us at all, even for treats, and if we went into the coop it would leave immediately. The past ten days it has been very social, will even come close enough for us to pet it, talks to us some too. Also in the last few days, if you walk near it it does the squat. I had thought that was a laying hen trait but I am not for sure. If it is a rooster when could I expect that its plumage would start changing? I want to get it out of the hen house and into the rooster run before they start laying if possible.

Thanks!
