I know the image quality isn't very good, sorry.
They all are 5 weeks old, give or take 1-3 days.
Hoping for pullets!

Everyone looks female at this point, but remember it's early days. A roo should make himself known fairly soon, though.

I hope so! I'll wait for other people's opinions though.

The first EE's coloring leans toward male but everyone else appears to be pullets at this point. You'll have a better idea in about 3 weeks, I know it is hard to wait but the guessing is half the fun with chickens.

On second thought it may be the lighting, if your chicken has the solid salmon breasted( I.e. softer orange like color) then it is a female, solid patterning is a giveaway for female EEs males look splotchy.

Ger chest is a few shades lighter then her back, neck and wings, and the feathers on her belly are a few shades lighter then that.

Did you buy sexed pullets? I think you may hay have all pullets, only time will tell.

Yes, they were all supposed to be pullets. I hope so! Thank you.

Hmm... I can see three rows on the orange one's comb, but her colour seems to imply she's a hen...

I don't know about the rest, but I would say the BR is a pullet. Roo's have more white. I can't tell from the pictures, but BR pullets usually have a dark wash on their legs, too. I'm still pretty new to chickens, but I've learned that much with my BR!
