thoughts on breed and sex of 9 week old chicks

They look like all pullets to me including the barred rock. Pullets of certain breeds have combs and waddles that are prominent too. I see no saddle or neck feathers to indicate cockerel at all. Here's a photo of one of my girls. :confused:

Well that’s true to an extent, but it’s too young for male specific feathering and pullets shouldn’t really ever be that red at 9 weeks, though it is normal for pullets like Leghorns to have tall pale combs. The barred Rock is a cockerel through and through.
