Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

Yes bunch of sebrights! Some are starting to get orange crowns..they are 4 weeks except for the obvious roo with the waddles, he is 6 weeks!
Does the orange crown mean anything? Boy/girl?
Normally the females have no real comb & wattles for many weeks. Females' combs stay the same pale color but males get a pink hue around 4-6 weeks
 
@Foodfromhome
I can't see the comb well on the first bird. A pullet will have a very pale comb with a narrow raised ridge down the center.

Second bird has a wider lumpy looking cockerel comb that is pinkish. I think cockerel, but you need another week to be sure.

It's better if you can get a side view of them standing naturally. Can't really see the tail and how they stand and hold themselves nor the thickness of the legs.
Beautiful coloring!
Thanks! Here are 2 more of my suspected cockerel. Do these help any?

I got 8 chicks from a feed store, raised them, and then discovered that I possibly have two roosters in the bunch! They’re about 8 weeks old. I know one of them is a rooster for sure (not pictured), but this barred rock is confusing me. I think it may be a rooster. Thoughts?

At 8 weeks, that's a cockerel.
