I was hoping to get some helpnwith my kids 4h projects. We have 4 trios, 2 each kid, and we arent allowed roosters, i had already 1 trio turn out to be all roosters...so im hoping these we got now are all hens...these are silver laced wynadottes. I also have blue laced red and gold laced wynadottes and lavendar orpingtons. These guys are just really bossy and seem mean...so i am a tad worried. Right now i want to make sure this trio is good to go. Thank you.

They look like pullets to me but the red bird in the second photo might be a cockerel. Wyandottes are a pushy, bossy breed in general. That’s their personality.
 
In the first photo the bird in the foreground seems pullet, the bird in the second photo seems pullet. I can't tell on the one in the background in the first photo.
At this age you start to expect saddle feathers on cockerels. And in wyandottes, cockerels start to develop roo-specific feathering on their wings/shoulders (in SLW that would be solid silver feathers without lacing). I can't see any of that on the third bird, but the other two look like pullets to me.
