Chick sexing Cockerels or Pullets

Agree, a beautiful pullet. At 14 weeks that color wattles wouldn't be unusual. After all, the most precocious pullets would only be two or three weeks from laying. Not that I think this one is, just that it's about the right time for hormones to start kicking in.
 
Awwe thanks both, eased my mind :D The others in the flock are more obvious with their genders, but this one had me going back and forth a lot as she grew. :) Yay!
 
Little Update: Looking like the only two that are Males are the really obvious black cockerels.

The rest are looking like pullets! Thanks for all your educated guesses and knowledgable assessments, many of you were right from the beginning! Give yourselves a tap on the back :D

Here they are at around 14-15 weeks:

Obvious Roos (they both look identical so here's a picture of just one):

Last update!

5 out of the 7 are indeed hens! We even had an egg or 2 from the black (Ayam cross) recently! The roosters are gone and now I have 10 lovely hens 🥰 Chicken math be real! I've told the girls they aren't allowed to brood. A law where the punishment is a few days in broody jail for even thinking about it 😁
