These are almost 7 weeks old. Can anyone confirm the breeds and take a stab at sexing them? (They were bought as pullets but you know how that goes, only 90% accurate.)
Here’s the 1st:

Olive egger is definitely a cockerel .
The rest appear to be pullets and cuties.
They're far big enough to be outside, so you can get the stinkers out of your house

Is #1 the olive egger? I thought it was the Wyandotte (and I hear they pink up early)

Yes. It has a single comb and a crest. Wyandotte, especially hatchery stock, sometimes have single combs but they're supposed to have rose combs. And no crests.
 
Your Olive Egger (#1) is a cockerel and looks very strongly like a male Crested Cream Legbar.

#2 appears to be a Wyandotte and possible female. Those are harder for me to sex.
