Ten weeks ago, I got 6 straight run chicks of various breeds. I am quite sure that 3 of them are pullets and 2 of them are cockerels, but the Speckled Sussex I'm not sure about it. It has a larger, redder comb and wattles like the cockerels, but seems to have the body type and feathers of the pullets. What are y'all's thoughts? Most of the pictures are of the Speckled Sussex, but I also included a photo of all 6 together (the Houdan and the Andalusian I'm quite sure are cockerals and the Wellsummer, Olive Egger and Maran look like pullets).

Here’s a pic of our 10 week old speckled Sussex pullet. I’m not at all experienced with the breed but in comparison of comb and wattles, I’d guess cockerel.
