All boys. Pullets wouldn't have reddish raised combs at 5 weeks.

The remaining 6 of my original 7 barred rocks are 3yrs old and happily divided between a friend and my mom.
Laying: 2 Partridge Rocks, 1 Columbian Wyandotte and 2 Black Australorps. 14 weeks: 3 bantam Araucana.
Cowed to chicken math and sharing my bedroom with 8 BBS Ameraucana mixes.

No, I don't think they're all boys.

 

I have BLRW that are approximately the same age (hatched 2/6). I can see obvious hackles on a couple of them, and bigger combs than at least a couple of yours. I didn't feel like I got a real good look at your recent pictures so I couldn't say for sure though.. 

 

http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/637861/blrw-gender-questions I posted pictures of my BLRW that I took today in this thread. You'll see how a couple are obviously boys. I'd compare those ones back to yours. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.


I'm guessing you have at least 1 or 2 pullets at the very least.

What I think is this.

Dutchess- pullet

Bacon- cockerel

Trixie- cockerel

Trixie and Bacon have such upright postures that they scream roo to me...

A Rottweiler (Roxy), a Labrador retriever (Gypsy), 2 breeding turkeys, 7 poults, 3 goats (Charlotte, Tata & Oreo), four ducks, 3 geckos and a yard full of chickens...

Oh, I  ALMOST forgot, the younger ones (2 week old in the pictures you show) the one on the left is a cockerel and the one on the left is a pullet.

Mine are right about the same age as yours. I looked very closely and I don't see any wattles yet. One of mine seems to be a lot more feathered than the other two. Does that mean anything?

Maybe Pekin Bantam has two left feet?

 

 

Feathering in quickly can be indicative of a pullet, but mine are all pretty much feathered in, so I'm not sure if it's reliable at this age.

I'm thinking you may need to change someone's name to Dutch. LOL! That looks like a roo to me. Bacon looks like it may be a roo also, but I still say it's too early.
