I have several buff Orpington mixes that I am unsure about. Day to day I think they could be either but am really leaning towards all males. No one has crowed or laid an egg yet. Also have an Easter egger I'm confused on. They are 20-22 weeks old. Help?!

The pics above and below are the possible mothers or the Orpingtons if that helps. Dad was an Orpington rooster.

- Elaina

- Matilda

- Sparkles (pretty positive this one is a male)

- Spike

- Billy the Easter egger (pretty sure this is a male too but at 20 weeks shouldn't he have larger red comb/wattle?)

Any help is appreciated.

They're all cockerels.

The Easter egger is pea combed, so the comb is smaller. That's about in line with my pea comb males' development. He has clear saddle feathers, so he's all boy for sure.
 
Thankyou everyone, that's what I thought. I was just in denial. Out of 9 chickens we got 3 females.
