I went and picked these chicks out yesterday. 3 Swedish Flowers and 2 FBCM (from GFF lines if that makes any difference)....and 2 CCL chicks but those are sure pullets. I'm hoping I picked pullets, all of them had smaller/paler combs than the others in the pen that were obvious cockerals. But still, I feel like I always win the rooster lottery 
FBCM #1 (ignore the messy garage full of boxes, it's the quarantine room)
I think there's some fermented food on "her" wing I need to clean off. I think about 5 weeks. Comb has no pink.
FBCM #2
Tiny wattles looked flushed from handling. This one is 6-7 weeks?
SFH #1
Smaller than the other 2, I think around 6 weeks? All of the SFH's had decent sized combs, some quite large and red. I tried to get the smallest, palest combed ones
SFH #2 and 3
7 and 10 weeks I think? The comb and wattles are yellow to a pale pink, they're not as red as they look in these pictures.
She said I can exchange if I end up with any cockerels, which makes me feel better. Do any stand out as pullets or cockerels?
