I have 9 to 10 week old Wyandotte chicks wondering what sex they are?

I can't get a good look at their saddle feathers. Inspect them closely. Cockerels will have pointed saddle feathers where pullets will have rounded saddle feathers.
9 to 10 weeks is too early for saddle feathers. Male SLW get white patches on the shoulders, which 2 of them definitely have. Plus they have thick legs and big red combs. To me, the only questionable one is #2.
 
I have 2 SLW as well and they were both female. Their combs and wattles only got that color when they were 22 weeks and about to lay an egg, which makes me believe you have cockerels.
