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

Can anyone help sex my Maran & Cochin? They are just over 4 weeks old but both are much slower to develop in the comb & wattle department than the other breeds I got (I'm now seeing obvious differences between the sexes with the other chicks).
Here's the Blue Copper Maran:

Here's the Cochin:

Maran is an early blooming cockerel.

Any ideas? My guess is cockerel but I can always hope

Stands like a cockerel but doesn't act like one

Cute little Leghorn pullet. The boys show themselves very early on.

That's not a manly stance, that's a Mediterranean stance. She's a cutie.

Hi all!
I have 6 chickens that are supposed to be all pullets. (4-5 weeks old) Three of them seem significantly larger than the others and they are getting much darker red waddles/combs. I'm a first time chicken owner- so I have no idea what I'm looking at and would appreciate any guessing/ and or info.
Thanks so much!

It was so hard to take photos of them- and hopefully, they're not all the same chicken

my Dixie rainbow. About 3.5 weeks old. Also what kind of Dixie rainbows are there? I have 4 and they all look different.

Ghost is a 4.5 week old Blue Andalusian, sexed as a pullet, but I'm not so sure. EDIT: Was unable to upload pic, and can't figure out how to delete post completely. Sorry, and please disregard. I've started a new thread.

Thanks for your help! The Maran has been strutting around like a cockerel since a few days old so no surprises there - I just started to think possibly pullet as my other, ahem "hens" suddenly overtook him with comb and wattle development.
Any ideas about the Cochin?

I have 13 Japanese bantams age 5-6 weeks. The boys have large red combs and are attempting to crow. The rest have little to no comb development. Will I still have some surprise cockerels at this point ? Will post pictures tomorrow.

Well now I'm wondering if any of my SLW'S are girls. All but one have white splotches on wings but this one has a pinker comb. O the struggle of trying to figure it out. Hahaha

The other 3..wings

The middle one looks very male. The other two, wait and see when they molt next -- theirs is more evenly messy.
