Pullet or Cockerel?

[teira]

This was my first experiment hatching my own eggs in the incubator, I had almost a 4/6 hatch rate however one unfortunately passed away from hatching too early. I am now left with these three gorgeous birds, all from the same father and Penguin and Wheezy (given that name since his crow sounds like a wheeze) are full blooded siblings... except 2/3 are for SURE roosters because one crowed at only 2 weeks and the other one just started catching on today! They are only about 8 weeks old! (born July 7th) they are both so spunky! So tell me what you think about the 3rd one... a pullet or a cockerel? It's comb is definitely not bright red like Wheezy's I'm still so unsure, but lol! Please give me hope I have the worst luck with getting roosters

^ Wheezey (for sure cockerel)
EE x Black Australorp

^ Dianne (for sure cockerel)
Black Star x Black Australorp

^ Penguin (unknown)

Penguin looks pullet to me. Such big black eyes <3.

Penguin is most likely a pullet. Love her coloring.

Reckon pullet. If you open the wing out is the feather edge even if so pullet or are alternate longer feathers if so cockerel.... I’ve learnt that recently so you can decide the gender in the first few days.

I would guess pullet.

That only works on specific chickens, but does not work on most breeds.

Yep, when they first hatched I checked and determined both the two cockerels were actually pullets and Penguin was the rooster, however the feather development seems to be reversed in this case!

Penguin is a very pretty girl! I love your chickens.
