What Sex are my chicks?

[Chickadees2]

Hi there,
I’m new here. My kids and I have hatched out some chicks and they are now almost 6 weeks old. I’m hoping someone can help us with sexing our chicks. We love them all but will are not allowed roosters where we are.
The parents are a combination of Araucana, Silkie and Frizzle. We are in New Zealand so I know these breeds are different in different countries.I also believe we have 3 sizzles (Silkie/Frizzle cross).

#1 is a cockerel, #2, #3, and #4 are pullets, #5 and #6 are cockerels. Gender difference is exactly 50%.

Thanks for your reply! We were hoping #5 was a pullet as it’s very shy and the smallest of them all. Other than that we were thinking the same as you.

#1 = cockerel, comb awfully red
#3 = possible cockerel, I think I see saddle feathering starting
#5 = cockerel due to the width of the comb
#6 = cockerel due to the width of the comb

They are really CUTE ... Repost pictures again in 2wks, the Silkie & Fizzle in them makes it harder to read their feathering

Ok I’ll repost in a couple of weeks. #5 is my favourite so really hoping it’s a pullet. Another pic of it.

My "favorites" always ended up cockerels Now that I can see the comb, leaning more to cockerel and hoping I'm wrong

Oh shame. I can’t believe how many Cockerals we have! We have given 2 away already that look very much like cockerels and one had even started a squeaky crow! This one #5 has a completely flat comb but is it the width that gives it away? I know the height and redness do also but didn’t know about the width.

It's the width, hang on to #5 until you hear that crow ... If it is a cockerel, he may not crow

Just found these beautiful ginger feathers coming on the middle of the back of our grey Araucana chick. So I guess that confirms it’s a Cockerel.
