I have a good feeling that they are all going to end up hens but I'd like some other options! All are 5 to 6 weeks old. Please and thank you!

1 & 4 pullets
2 comb is hard to see but looks like a possible ridge/bump (cockerel?)but those waddles are getting big and red still young
3 looks like three rows of pea combs (cockerel?) but hard to tell still young

Post more pictures of 2&3 in a couple weeks
 
They are all most likely pullets...keep watching #4, the Barred Rock. That's some comb started, but for a BR at 6 weeks, that would be really undeveloped comb, so I'll say pullet for now.

The GLW is likely a pullet, but watch for the gold patches on the wings, if those get blotchier and brick red enters in. The comb looks good for 6 weeks for a pullet, but GLW can be tricky, especially if they are hatchery.

#2 is an Easter Egger (there is no such thing as an Americana)...that is a typical pullet pattern for EE.

#1 is a pullet as the RIR/Production Red roo's by 6 weeks really have substantial comb.

Thank you! We also have 2 sex links around the same age. They are all extremely friendly and love to snuggle!
