I love helping others sex their chickens, but these guys are throwing me for a loop. I just keep overthinking it, so I'm going to just let everyone else put their opinions in. I need to work on rehoming extra cockerels because I bought them straight run. I won't share my biases other than that none of them are developing pointed saddle feathers unlike my other Brahmas and Orpingtons which I am very confident on genders of. I labeled them A-D for easy identification on who is who. They were hatched May 12th, so almost exactly ten weeks old.

Thanks for everyone's help! I got some better pictures of A and B today, opinions still the same? I'm just a bit on the fence because they're a bit more pink than my obvious pullets and less then the cockerels and have no sex feathers despite being quicker to mature, which I included pictures of. Am I wrong to assume there should be brighter colors on the wings if they were cockerels? I'm having a hard time finding comparison pictures online, but most seem to have dark "reddish" patches. I've never raised a buff laced chicken or any laced chicken for that matter...

It's only been a week, but I'm pretty sure they're all actually girls! Here's the two that were thought to be cockerels, but compared to the others, I'm just not convinced. That makes my ratio of pullets to cockerels 10:6, or about 63% girls! Pretty good my books!
