What sex are my 6 week old speckled Sussex

[DreamingHeart]

Hello, this is my first year having chickens and I got 12 silver laced wyandotte pullets, one of which I believe is a rooster. At the end of "chick season" at tractor supply I couldn't resist some straight run speckled sussex chicks they had on sale for 50 cents. I got them April 25th so they should be at least about 6 weeks old. I'm hoping I got hens but I have no clue. One of them is a lot slower feathering than the other 2. I had fun trying to get photos since they don't like to hold still! Any opinions would be appreciated.

A little hard to tell from these pictures, but wow are they pretty birds. Maybe try to get some closer up pictures of their heads so we can see comb size/color

I have a whole new respect for everyone with really good chicken photos! Here's my 2nd try.

Post #3, front chick looks to be a pullet ... middle ? ... back looks to be cockerel. Repost in 2wks, they are pretty.

I would say based on the size and color of their combs they are pullets. Sometimes they can trick you this way though! Maybe post another picture in a few weeks or so.

Will do, thanks so much!

Not at only 6 weeks old. Those all look like cockerel to me.

Cockerels.
as a comparison... here's my SS when she was a pullet of 8 weeks... and she still had less comb then your guys at 6.

Agreed here's my supposedly questionable 8 week old SS and she has far less color in her comb.
