6 weeks old, pullets?

I’m now remembering why I don’t buy from this one specific feed store.
The last time they sold me 2 pullets a few years ago I ended up with 2 rooster. I bought 4 pullets recently and I’m wondering now if I’m getting more roosters. They are about 6 weeks old. Here are my 4 little ones.

The barred one or ones are certainly female. They look to be cuckoo Marans.

The two brownish ones have large combs and wattles for their level of development. One more than the other. I think those two are probably cockerels.

I agree, I think you've got two pullets and two cockerels. Definitely not great odds if you were guaranteed all girls.

This was my thought as well. The brownish ones I’m not sure the breed but the barred chicks are supposed to be Plymouth Rocks.

The feed store will take back rooster and trade for hens but I could always buy more pullets, from where I usually get my pullets this time, and stay with these guys since I don’t currently have any rooster in either coop. Hopefully they grow into sweet boys. I just wish I knew what breed they were.

They're some kind of hybrid, not a pure breed. There are so many of the name brand hybrids out there now that it is very difficult to say which one.
