what sex are my chicks? Please Answer!! (*new* Pictures now :) )

Barred rocks are definitely pullets. EE looks like a roo, but I'd wait a little longer and post again on that one. I had a pullet that looked like yours when it was young and I was sure it was roo - thankfully, it wasn't. I don't have any experience with the other breeds.
 
I think the barred rocks are girls too. And the polish is for sure a hen. SLW not sure on but I do remember mine getting read very early and she was a hen. I'm going to guess all hens. Your ee looked just like mine and it also got read early in age but is a hen.
 
it is so hard to wait!! if any are roos and start to crow, we'll have to get rid of them. so I'm hoping they are all hens. I want the EE to be a hen so I can have green eggs

Now i'm beginning to think the GLW is a roo and the SLW is a hen. Anyone else have any views? thanks!
 
I think that the GLW and the Barred Rocks are pullets. The SLW looks like a cockerel - the boys get mostly white wings and the girls only have the tips of the wings white and the rest of the wing feathers are laced.
My SLW hen had a pink comb from about 3 weeks, but it didn't really get any bigger or redder until right before she started to lay.
The EE is hard to tell. Does s/he have three rows of bumps on the comb or one?
 
ziggy, the EE only has one row of bumps. does anyone have polish experience? also, when did your chickens start to lay eggs? thanks!
