Hello! So 1,2, and 3 are unsexed game bantams. I’m betting on two hens and a roo but wanted some second opinions. 4,5, and 6 are “sexed” gold laced Wyandotte “hens”. Any thoughts?

Hey, although it's a bit too young to know for sure, I'd agree with your guesses on the bantams, 3 looks like a rooster. And for the Wyandottes, number 6 looks suspicious. His comb is a lot bigger and a bit red. Number 5's comb is a bit bigger too, but I'm currently leaning more towards pullet.
 
3 is the only obvious cockerel I see at this time. This breed/color can be feather sexed, females get salmon colored breast feathers, and males have black. All the Wyandottes' combs are fairly red, but it's a bit too early to be certain with them. Pullets do tend to comb up early.
