my buff cochin and ss crossed chicks are a little over 7 weeks old now. they’re doing very well, and eating nicely. however, i’m confused as to what they are lol. chick number 1 appears to be a cockerel, while 2, 3, and 4 appear to be pullets. or so i thought. 3 and 4’s posture has me confused, and 3’s comb and wattles are suddenly very red though small. second opinions?

The first is your only boy.
 
For me #2 looks like a cockerel as well.. he already has a small comb and waddles and they are red. He's probably not the dominant of the two roos... but he looks like a rooster to me.
A hen would not be as red at 7 weeks. All others look like hens to me.
