Pullet or cockrel?

Date sort Score sort
I would be pretty confident in saying chickens # 2, 3, as well as the last, are pullets... 1, 4 and 5 look to be roosters. Does # 5 have huge feet? That would be the only one that I'm not too sure about. Hope that helps a bit! Oh, and good luck!

they look like mixed breed birds. 4 and 5 are cockerels.
 
My thoughts were that 4 and 5 were roos and the rest pullets. They have large wattles and combs and the others are small. Recently #1 has gotten more stand offish and it made me think that it might be a rooster. But physical characteristics point towards a hen while behavior almost makes me thing rooster
 
one of my hens is really aloof and always by herself, its not uncommon to have a standoffish hen IMO.
 
2 and 4 look like hatchery red sexlinks, and since you got them from TSC, which sources from hatcheries, that is likely what breed they are. They also tend to be fast to mature, so it's entirely possible that, at 14 weeks old, #4 is getting close to laying.
The others could be Dixies/Rainbows/Pioneers. I'm not seeing any traces of male feathering on any of them.
 
If they're from a hatchery, I guess 4 has to be a hen. It sure looks like a cockerel to me, but I was also thinking they were younger.

At 14 weeks, 5 is also probably a pullet. I agree you have two red sex links and the others look like Rangers or Pioneers, some thing like that.
