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

HI! First time poster!
I'm in Mobile, AL, where we are allowed 5 hens, no roosters. My 2 Barred Rocks (Momma Hen & LIttle Hen) are 2 years old.
Little Hen has gone broody about once every 3 months since she matured. We wanted to expand the flock, so this spring we let her set 11 eggs we got from a friend. The rooster was a Light Brahma. Hens were Ameraucana and Silver Leghorns. They hatched May 12/13th. . Didnt expect all to hatch or all to live once they did. Well, all 11 eggs hatched and all 11 peeps are still alive!
For logistics (and legal) reasons, I need to start to thin out the flock, starting out with the roosters.
But I am having a hard time telling what I've got.
So, here's a few pics:

#1, I think this is a pullet:


#2: Pullets based on the small combs??


#3, think this is the only easy one: Rooster?


#4, No idea:


My Hens (not the real moms!):
 
That's a pullet.

I agree, you have a pullet!
