Wyandotte chicks: pullets or cockerels?

[Hans77]

Hi there, these Wyandotte bantams are about 7 weeks now. I have 14 in all, but these 6 keep me puzzled somehow.

I keep doubting about their gender. What are your guesses?​

Sorry, can't see the pics...

Second is definitely a pullet, I think I'm leaning towards pullet for the first one as well

The only possible cockerel I see is the 3rd pic down. The comb looks VERY red.

Thank you for your reply. Do you think all the other ones are cockerels? I had hoped for the fourth one to be a pullet too.

I agree with the 3rd picture being a cockerel. Also its behaviour is leaning towards a rooster's. It is always jumping up against the other chicks.

Pullets and hens do that as well. It just establishing the pecking order.

And what about this black mottled one?

Anyone else who wants to share their view?
When would I be able to be sure about the gender? Some say 6 to 8 weeks. Mine are 7 weeks old now.
Thanks in advance for taking a look.

Wyandottes are a slow maturing breed and can take a long time before you know. I have one that I posted here at 8 weeks and was told to repost at 12 weeks. He still hasn't crowed but I know it is a cockerel now because he is starting to get his male feathers in which usually starts around 12 weeks.

Here is a picture of home at 8 weeks so you can compare.
