Pullet or cockerel? What do you think?

[K0k0shka]

The Orps are definitely all boys. Their combs and wattles are huge and red - much bigger than those on my Orp pullets who are much older than yours, even - 5 months old. The girls just don't get that kind of size or redness until much, much older.

I’m back with a few more pics of chicks, they are now 12 weeks old. I’m so confused and I’m starting to be concerned as to whether I have pullets or cockerels. I keep checking their feathers and tails. Can you tell from this pic which is which?? I really appreciate your time and answers.View attachment 2363202View attachment 2363204View attachment 2363205View attachment 2363206View attachment 2363207

I'm suspicious of the speckled one

Buff Orp is the only cockerel.

Agreed.
Although I've seen some pretty crazy big red combs on 12 week old buff pullets.
Which is why I prefer to sex by feathers. There's always some exceptions to the combing.

Feather sexing by the saddle and hackle feathers is always more accurate than by using combs. There is a breed that you can't feather sex though, but it is a more rare breed than typical chickens.

If skinny and pointed, it's a boy.
Fat and rounded, you have a girl.

But with Silkies...
There ain't no way to know,

All look like pullets except the buff and possibly the speckeled sussex. Do you have a head shot of this one?
Head shot of BLRW, too.

The above pics are ones requested. I hope these will help with the determination.
Thank you!!

Buff Orp & the white bird are the cockerels.

Now that you've shown the face I'm not suspicious of the speckled, looks like a pullet.

Your first pullet in the original post looks exactly like one of mine.
