Hello! I decided to start another thread on helping all you back yard chicken farmers determine the sex of your chicken.
I know it can sometimes be super tricky to identify gender in chicks, so that's why we made this thread! No need to start your own thread, just hop on here and share a picture of your chick, making sure it's at least 4 weeks old before asking gender. Me and @Jetblack2004 are almost 100% on genders for chicks 4 weeks+.
So feel free to ask lots of questions regarding gender. We do NOT identify breeds, only gender. However, if anyone out there is good at identifying breeds, please let us know, we would love to have your help!

Thanks!

You've got a few different breeds there - none are screaming cockerel.

Anyone know if this is a pullet and a leghorn?

Yes, a pullet. Not a Leghorn, some sort of EE cross (green legs, small cheek muffs, but looks to have a single comb)

French Black Copper Marans: Guess the Gender

Hello all! I am an absolute newbie Chicken owner here and this is my first post!

Let's play guess the gender!!! Akira, almost 8 weeks (left) and Wangari (right), a little over 7 weeks. Two French Black Copper Marans straight run chicks. Can you please tell me if they are pullets or cockerels and why do you think so! Thanks a lot!

Akira, my French Black Copper Marans, almost 8 weeks old...

Akira...

What about my sweet Wangari Fuzzbutt, French Black Copper Marans, a little over 7 weeks old...

Another photo of Wangari...

Akira and Wangari are organically raised with love from Black Copper Marans show birds that produce #7 plus dark eggs!

Thank you for your help!

You might need to wait longer to tell. The red wattles often show a cockerel, but not always. I cannot see the comb in the pics.

Both look like cockerels. A prominent red comb and wattles at 7 weeks means they are males. A pullet at this age usually has a small pale comb and wattles.
