Pullets or cockerels? And breed identifying. Thanks!

[NatJ]

I can't see a muffler, but it could have a faint one.

I thought I saw feathers sticking out to the side, just under the eye, on Theresa. But I am having trouble deciding if they are just normal feathers and I am being fooled by the angle and the black-and-white barring, or whether I really am seeing small muffs (which would mean not Barred Rock but probable Easter Egger or Olive Egger.)

Anybody have any thoughts on hen/rooster? I am getting quite a bit of sad feedback on other forums that I might have several roosters

I see a few that might, maybe, possibly be males.

But none of them are very obvious to me at this point, I think they are all within the range of comb/wattles that can sometimes appear in pullets of this age.

If any are males, they should become quite a bit more obvious within the next few weeks, while females should have at least two more months of looking pretty much the same as they do now (for comb & wattle size and color.)

The only one that for sure looks to be a cockerel is Linda.

Judy does have some pretty big wattles but at 6 weeks I would expect more comb development and more pink showing up so I would say a maybe for her. Sue is also a maybe. The development is kinda in the middle but I would lean pullet. If you could update in a week or two that would be great. As for Karen, I don’t see any that says cockerel but a couple more pictures would be helpful

Weird question but what color are the bottom of Sue’s feet?

What is it about Linda that is suspicious of being a rooster? I posted in a few other groups and so far the vote is 14 hen 8 rooster haha. I hope she isn't she is my favorite. She has a really good temperament with me. Karen seems the most suspicious to others so far. Her vote is 9 for hen and 11 for rooster. Here are some more angles of Karen. It is really hard to tell much because of her color and pattern, it seems. I forgot to check Sue's feet, but I will check tomorrow. Thanks so much for the input!

Mostly just comb size and color. I am not absolutely certain but I am about 75% sure she will end up being a cockerel. My 12 week old Orpington pullet has a comb around that size.

And if any of them turn out to be a cockerel, it will always be your favorite . Guess who now has a cockerel named Princess?

That is what I am going to be doing with mine. Just gotta bribe the neighbors with eggs until they believe he is just a hen who crows and doesn’t lay eggs
