Sexing Buff Orpingtons and Easter Eggers

[angiewish]

Ive attached photos of our chickens. We are having some difficulty sexing the easter eggers. We believe we know how to sex the buff Orpingtons by the large (male) or small (female) combs. We would love if you'd give your opinion on the genders of our chickens.

(Above) Front - female, back - male

3 female
4 all males

Thank you for your input!
All of our chickens are around 12 weeks old now. All hatched around may 30th. So it sounds like you agree with most of our guesses. We still feel a bit unsure about the following:

1. (Above) Front white bird doesn't seem to look like the other males or females that we have of their breed. Medium size comb.

2. (Above) doesn't have a large comb but is so much longer than all the other birds and has very long tail feathers.

3. (Above) huge fluffy head, voluminous cheeks. Looks like a hen? but different than all of the others that look like hens of their breed.

1 has a large, red pea comb at 12 weeks, which says male. But also it has red shoulder patches, which also indicate male.

2 also has a large red pea comb. And also has shoulder patches, white with him. Plus the tail looks male.

3 has a small pea comb. It does have a little color, but it's not bright red. The main thing with this bird is that it has a female specific color pattern, just like the last bird in your first group of pictures. The fluffy feathering at its neck is very common with bearded Easter egger pullets.

I am hoping others will give their opinions on these so you will get multiple perspectives.

7 is a roo
Others are hens (I have buffs)
The one in the very back of the first photo is a rooster (I have easter eggers to)

The first two look like cockerels. The last looks like a pullet. Do you have individual photos of your buffs? 7 is a cockerel, but I think I may see one more mixed in.
