1 Cockerel Easter egger
2 Pullet Easter egger
3 Pullet Japanese bantam
4 Cockerel Silkie

3 is the only questionable one. It's right on the cusp in age so it could be a slow cockerel or fast pullet. Maybe someone who is more familiar with Japanese bantams can chime in-- I'm not sure if they are usually quick or slow developers. But most bantams are fast so I'm leaning pullet.

It is really hard to tell by just looking at their photos....do any have spurs?

Spurs won't mean much. My gold hamburg is growing spurs and is a pullet. Spurs aren't a male vs female trait.

X2 and by the time they do have spurs they can easily be distinguished between male and females

Thank you I’ll hang on the the 3rd and 4th a bit longer and see if I hear crowing...it’s hard at the moment because there are a lot of roosters but they are going today so we’ll see what happens! The 3rd one looked like a cockerel from a young age but as it’s grown it’s looking more pullet to me so time will tell!

Could you provide a better picture of #3? That might help us determine better.
