I have 6 Welsummer chicks and I'm new to this breed so would love some help sexing them. They don't have names yet, just their leg band colours for ID.

I'm fairly confident that "black" and "green right leg" are cockerels and that "purple" is a pullet but maybe someone more experienced can confirm. I'm hoping "pink" may also be a pullet but I'm not sure and the others look a bit in between to me, although I may be leaning towards cockerels for them as well unfortunately. Any opinions would be appreciated!

I agree with your 2 cockerel IDs and think orange “may” be a cockerel as well. You are looking for less distinct, slightly blurry “eyeliner” and a lighter brown chipmunk streak.
I’m not 100% on IDing anything, let us know how this turns out!
