[3KillerBs]

I haven't seen anything screaming "cockerel" but I'm used to sexing breeds with big single combs.

I know each breed may be different, but by 6 weeks the eggs I hatched had pretty clearly differentiated. This is a cockerel Cream Legbar and Rhode Island Red hybrid at only 4 weeks. You can clearly see the development of comb and wattles. On the other hand, this six-week-old Rhode Island Red has some comb, but it is much smaller and yellow still. There's no real trace of wattles on her.

Like @3KillerBs, single combs are the only thing I've had to worry about. I can't tell if yours are different comb types, but assuming single combs they'd be safely pullets.

Yes, I'm fairly confident sexing my Australorps at 4 weeks, but when I was dealing with Wyandottes, Dominiques, and Brahmas I was much less sure about it.

In fact, last summer it took 10-12 weeks to be *sure* that my noticeably lighter Dominique was female.

I have no confidence sexing crossbreeds of unknown heritage before 12 weeks and the appearance of saddle feathers.
