Break my heart thread - Cockerels or Pullets?

[CrystalAnon]

I wanted to wait for as long as I could before posting this.
I think I’m now emotionally ready to hear the thoughts & observations with sexing… cockerels or pullets?
I have 5 straight run chicks. They turned 6 weeks old on Monday.
Manqué & Rapha…
Both French Black Copper Marans

Both look like pullets to me!

Would be ironic & hilarious if the two egg recipe names I doled out to my chicks, ended up being cockerels.
Thank you for your input!!
I recognize I’m too biased to tell the difference! I even looked at the feather sexing videos. I tried… just can’t tell.
This is my first time, so go easy on me!

The first one from them is definitely a cockerel

First seems to be a cockerel. Second one I have reservations about as well. Update with new pics of both in 2 weeks.

Feather sexing only works on specific crosses.

Oh my gosh!!! I’m SO happy!!!
I nursed Rapha back from a serious tendon issue… hopping on one leg for more than a week. Was not sure she would be able to be a normal chicken without hobbling or surgery, from what I read here. Probiotics & nutritional yeast (as I read tendon issues are usually a B deficiency of the mother). Plus some drops of poultry drench. Complete recovery, thank God!
