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

Yes, those both look like cockerels... big combs for 4 weeks! Pullets also flap and spar at this age, so that's not the best way to sex them.

Was hoping I was wrong Looks like I will need to re home them.
Thank you.
 
Here's one of my other Dark Cornish that I hadn't manage to get a photo of before and I also tried to take a fullbody picture, hopefully this will make it easier to see

(I wanted to take better pictures of the rest of the chickens, but I didn't have time to and since I've moved out, I only get to see the chickens whenever I visit my parent's farm.)
Anyway, here it is, it's around 8 weeks old here:

Thanks before hand^^
 
It is very hard to tell without also seeing the entire chicken in side view. The comb and wattles are still quite small for 9 wks, so it could be a pullet. They will get red from being hot or running around. If you can get a side view, you would be looking for a slightly darker color across the wings on a male.

These two I'm suspicious of.. they act different and they seem to pick on the others.
Black one is pepper and the white one is tofu(I'll probably change it's name) I think they're almost two months. My guess is that their either bullies or they're Roos.. Can y'all help me figure it out? I'm sorry for the terrible pictures it's the best I could do

So, this is supposed to be a RIR pullet, but at 6 1/2 weeks or so, it's got the biggest comb of the group. Is it a roo? Is it a RIR?

This came from assorted bantams I have no clue what she is.

This is a French Cuckoo Marans, is it a he or a she? It is approximately 12 1/2 weeks. I am only wondering because my little almost 4 month old silkie who just recently started crowing, chases this one and the little black one out of the coop.

This was supposed to be a French Cuckoo as well, but I believe it is a BCM... Boy or girl? Same age as previous one.

This silkie has yet to crow, but I'm thinking he's a boy. I am not allowed to have roosters where I live, but there I a bird farm down the way that finds homes for roosters.

Barred one looks like a cockerel. Not sure on the other.
