Are any of my chickens roos?

[ComeAlongBort]

These are my 5 week old chickens, both Sam and Frodo(pic 1 and 2) are Easter Eggers and Smeagol(pic 3) is a Barred Rock.

I've been concerned with gender because my town doesn't allow adult roosters and I don't want to give my chickens away.

Any help with identifying gender for all of them will be appreciated!

Nothing screaming rooster to me at this point.
Keep an eye on the chick in the middle picture.

I guess I'll wait and see, I bought them at tsc all as sexed hens so hopefully they turn out that way.

#2 looks like a possible cockerel to me as well.

Over the many years I have had chickens I have had a few bought as pullets that were males.
Right now I have last years oopster. He's a good guy so we are keeping this one.

Not reddening up yet so I am still on the fence.

Frodo is tough! Legbar-based Eggers tend to have larger combs, but Frodo also has patchier coloring that's associated with cockerels. I think "he" is a classic case of wait-and-see.
