Sexing my 6 week old EEs

[jaclynn_chan]

Hi there! I'm VERY new to chickens and I'm (extremely) paranoid I might have a rooster in the bunch. I got them from a local shop where they were sold as pullets with 90% accuracy. I figured my chances of getting a cockeral would be lower if I bought from a place that had to sex less chickies. Do any of these look like cockerals to anyone? I'm worried the very reddish colored one might be a cockeral because their comb is a little more pronounced/orange than the other 2. I got as good of pics as I could get but if I need more I can try! Also, their posture is more upright in these pics because I was making crazy noises trying to get them to look at me lol. Thanks for your help!

I believe that all are pullets.

I’m thinking they’re all pullets too. The chick in question has the coloration of a typical female Easter egger. The males always seem to be more splotchy looking and the females tend to have a more distinct pattern.

All look like girls to me.

You would be seeing long saddle and tail feathers and pointy hackle feathers at this point if they were male.

Pretty hens

Those don’t usually appear until around 12 weeks. That said, I do think they are girls.
