Okay, it’s week 7! I am hoping my assessments are correct and most of these are pullets! These are all mixed birds except for the Ameraucanas and the Mauve Orpington. They are Cochin mixes (mom was the Cochin) crossed with 3-4 fathers that were Marans, Isbars or Langshans. Any guesses on dominant breeds of the mixes?? Obviously the frizzle is mainly Cochin, but I know zero about the other three breeds!

I am very hopeful that the splash colored one is a pullet, because it is my daughters FAVORITE and she named it after herself haha. Any that shout boy that I don’t see? I have a blind spot when it comes to sexing chickens and wanted second opinions! Thanks!

The Mauve Orpington is pics 5 & 6, and one of the Ameraucanas is the last pic.

Pullets! The last one may be an early developing female (I can't enlarge the picture somehow, so its hard to tell).
Oh yay!! I could NOT get Fluff and Puff to stand still for pictures (Ameraucanas) so that was an action shot and weird. :) They are definitely the toughest to sex! I love them too, so I’m very hopeful they’re girls 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Just updated my guess...I am voting two cockerels.
 
Okay, sorry for all the replies, my computer was acting weird. You just added pictures! The last picture and the frizzle look like cockerels. The others look like pullets for now...
Mrs Frizzle has looked the same for about 2 weeks now and all the other obvious Cochins are super red, so I was holding out hope she was a Mrs. This is a brother same age! :)

Okay, I knew the frizzle was a questionable one! Hoping it grows and the comb doesn’t haha, it’s sooo sweet!
Its very possible that its a pullet, but I lean toward cockerel by a little bit more. It does look like a possible pullet though! More than the ameraucana at least.
