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

I have nine Ameraucanas of varying colors that we need some help sexing. They're ten weeks old. I have guesses about MOST of these guys, but I am new at this and really need some confirmation.

Here are two pictures each - I tried to get their combs/faces, and their saddle feather area. Hopefully this will be helpful!

3, 6, and 8 look like pullets. Need to see #5 from the side without hands in the way. The rest are cockerels.
 
Here are some updated photos, this chick is now around 8 weeks old. What do you guys think? Pullet or cockerel?

These are three of my babies. The black one was sold to me as a Silkie, but now I am not so sure. Any ideas on what she is? Does he or she look like a Silkie to y'all?The white one is a Silkie and the multicolored is a bantam Cochin. Not sure if I have pullets or cockerels on my hands. Any guesses?

Black one looks like a Silkie cross. Not sure of sex on either of the Silkies, but the Cochin looks like a cockerel.
 
Hello, I have what I think is an Aracauna that is about 9wks old. I'm trying to find out if she is a rooster or just at the bottom of the pecking order because she hides in the coop from the other chicks all around the same age except for 3 that are a wk older (one of those 3 is a roo & starting to crow) so unsure if she is a roo hiding from him or like I think bottom of pecking order thank you .

This is a hatchery Ameraucana, which are referred to as EEs (Easter Eggers). Can you post a pic showing a side view. Need to see the coloring on the wings/shoulders to help sex. If it is hiding, it is probably being picked on a bit. It happens. Someone has to be on the bottom. It is a good idea to have more than one food dish and waterer to be sure there is access for chicks like this one.
