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

Does anyone have a guess at what these are? Im still new and i can't figure out the whole sexing a chicken thing.

I think the 8 week old EE's are cockerels, but I would wait for a second opinion on them. I'm seeing some red leakage on their wings though, which is why I'm thinking cockerel.
The barred bird I'm not sure on, it has a pullet looking face, but it's tail is a bit suspicious for me. And I agree with you, he/she's a bit big for being 8 weeks old, I'm thinking more 10-15 weeks old.
The Silver Laced Cochins I'm also not sure about, I think a better picture will help me or someone else determine though.
And the Black Cochins are pullets, I believe.

X2.

I have a FBCM pullet, just a week or two older than the one in the pic, and she looks just like that.

Lol, I guess I'm not to good with Cochin's!

They can be tricky. But they are a breed that is slower to mature, and those combs are just too big and red for thirteen weeks.

Ok, thank you, I will know more for the next time I see Cochins!

I'm thinking pullet, but do you have a better picture of their tail? I want to make sure there's no saddle feathers.....

This is the best I have right now. I'm not home.
