Silver Laced Wyandotte sexing

Pics
The comb and wattles look very feminine. The tail feathers are nice and straight too. A cockerel's tail feathers are more curved. On the other hand, there is some uneven coloration. That can signify that it's a cockerel or it could be a female with some incomplete lacing. The other thing that's slightly concerning is the pointy looking feathers on the back/ saddle area. I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at there. I can't tell from these photos whether they are juvenile feathers with a narrow area of white that makes the feather shape look more pointed than it actually is or if they are male saddle feathers coming in. Overall, I am pretty confident that you have a pullet. It would surprise me to see saddle feathers coming in on a male with that little comb and wattle growth. If you can get a closer photo with more detail of the feathers on the back between the wings, I can tell you with certainty.

Okay, I'll try to get more detail pictures. I truly thank you for your details here.
 
Been trying to figure these three out for a while. They are about four and a half months old. Pretty sure now it's a Roo and two Hens?

This is the other, again best pic. This chick is much bigger than the other,has more feathers and a more uniform pattern and legs are thicker.
 
Hi everyone this is oreo my silver laced with a single comb? After doing some research on this site I have figured out that she/he is not purebred. She is cute and spunky and I love her anyway, when I bought her the farmer told me she was 4 weeks old so that would make her about 7 weeks now. Her comb is still yellowish and I'm starting to see some pink waddles. Does anyone have a guess whether she is a she or a he. These are the best pictures I could get, she won't stand still.
