What is your opinion? Pullet or Cockerel.

Hello I know it's early they are only 5 weeks. I have 5 babies here. I am looking at the combs. In the first picture I am thinking 3 is a female and 1 & 2 are male. I have 3 with bigger combs and 2 with smaller pale combs. What do you think?

All of those with the larger combs are cockerels.

1 and 2 are cockerels, so is that darker one with the larger pink comb

I believe I see 3 cockerels, and 2 pullets.

May I ask what you did with the cockerels? I was able to find homes for the last ones. I am now having to find a home for my roo as he has decided he doesn't like my husband and has become very aggressive towards him and even scratched him on his arm drawing blood. I know some would say cull him but I feel he deserves to live his life out. He is just doing what roosters do. Besides I hatched him and just can't hurt him he is only 8 months old.

Of course.
I just listed them for sale, $5-10 each. They sold relatively quickly.
The only thing, I have a suspension they were all eaten....
