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

Trying to figure out the gender for the white one in front... It's always had a large-ish comb, just not as red. They are all the same age, mixed breeds. Maybe 3-4 months.

Check the feathers on the back. At that age, rounded feathers mean pullet; long, thin, pointed feathers mean male.

Both cockerels.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for the response. I didn't know that I can still sex them if they are mixed breed. Well, I'll have to try again and get some hens!

Chickens are still chickens, no matter what breeds are crossed. The same rules of sexling apply. First comes the red comb, then come the male saddle feathers, and so on.

Both whites and the EE are all cockerels.  Black one is a pullet.  Not sure on the gold one.

Thank you!

Only the black one is a pullet. The rest are way too red in the comb. 

Thank you!

I agree 1 pullet

Still too young.

I thought so although I've noticed some possible no audible attempts at crowing

Every so often you can tell at a young age. I knew with some of my serama cockerels by 2 weeks. One was crowing by 3 wks!
