Im trying to figure out what my chickens genders are. They’re 6 weeks old. I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte, a Barred Rock, a Golden Sex-link, and a Sapphire Gem. I think my Barred Rock is a pullet and possibly my golden sex- link, but I’m unsure about my Silver Laced Wyandotte and Sapphire Gem....
Thoughts?

Suspect cockerels. However, I'd just keep an eye on them. Some pullets get some color early, but they don't have much more development for a while. A boy will continue with comb and wattle development.
 
Oh also the sapphire gem is a girl. Sapphire gems have barring if they’re boys. They’re sex linked.
Okay thank you that’s what I was hoping for! I was reading about them and I’m not sure what barring means but if you say it’s a pullet I’ll believe you! ❤️
 
So your red sex link and sapphire gem are 100% pullets. Your Barred Rock does not look light enough to be a cockerel right now but repost in a few weeks to tell for sure and I’m not sure about your Wyandotte
 
They all look like girls to me... keep an eye on that last one though. Just the comb is slightly redder than the others.
I was thinking the same thing as none of them have red combs and the Wyandotte’s may be red but I heard it’s suppose to start raising around now if it was a cockerel so I’m just looking for opinions ❤️
