White Leghorns - 6 wks - pullets or cockerels?

CGilbert said:

Any help is appreciated. There are a total of 5 of them and they hatched 8/27/15. I think I have 4 cockerels and 1 pullet, but I'm really hoping I'm wrong.

I agree with you regarding gender; I only see one pullet in your pics. However I'm questioning the breed. These birds all look too heavily bodied to me for White Leghorns and I'm thinking you have White Rocks instead. If I'm correct, as they mature their earlobes will turn red instead of staying white.

You totally got me, they are a white leghorn / delaware mix. I didn't think that would make too much of a difference, but I guess I could be wrong.

I also see only one pullet,
Do you remember the color of the egg they hatched from?
