Gender of these 6 babies?

[Chickerywitchery]

I bought these 6 straight run babies from TS labeled as Prairie Bluebell Eggers. A couple have fluffy cheeks like an Easter so any ideas on breed would be appreciated too.

To me all but upper right are girls...however, I am new at this, but have watched 23 chicks grow over the last 8 weeks.

Agreed.

Can you tell me what you're looking at? I've stared at these babies for longer than I'd like to admit and the only difference I can tell is one has a very small tail

All the boys have red leakage on their wings and a bright big red comb. Heat and some other factors play a role in the redness of the comb, but in conjunction with the leakage the message is clear

Is this just a trait for the Bluebell Eggers?

No. When a chicks comb and or wattles starts turning red at a young age, it almost always means the chick is a cockerel. The rusty red also is a sign of a cockerel, but depending on the breed it may not apply. A lot of male mixed breeds and Easter Eggers will have the red, or another color leakage, and some pure breeds will as well, depending on the color.
Typically the favorite chicks are the friendliest, prettiest and brightest colored, and usually end up being males.

Going off comb color alone, 3 also has the red coloring like the others labeled as male. I havent read anything saying Bluebell Eggers have the red feathers indicating male so is that something that should be considered? Not looking forward to finding homes for possibly 5 roos.

And none of these babies are friendly because they are being raised by my most feral hen lol

Are they the same age?
How old are they?
