Hello!

Is each picture of a different bird?

The first picture definitely looks like a cockerel, and the second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth pictures seem to be pullets, although I’m really not entirely sure. I think this because I don’t see any “streamers” coming from their crests. The white one and the buff one in the center of the fifth picture are definitely boys.

Could you maybe get pictures of each one from behind, so that I can see the entire poofy tail please? That will help a lot :)

The first 3, are cockerels. The last 3 look to be pullets.
 
Oops I’m sorry, the sixth one also looks like a cockerel and not a pullet. Sorry about that…I didn’t really pay very good attention to that one
