I think the black one may be a pullet, i cant see much of a comb. the splash (who is very very beautiful by the way) is hard to tell because its bearded. I always look at my chicks waddles and combs.
I have had bad luck with my chicks and now I only buy pullets. It was to heart breaking! And it's not easy having to keep rehoming roos. I have had so many roos. 4/4 in one lot I bought
I have 1 dominant roo. He is the only one who crows during the day. In the morning they will all crow.
When I have a roo who starts crowing he gets brought inside of a night/morning and put into our rooster box. Because we were doing this, another chick would step up and if ready, they would start to crow. S in answer to your question, yes! Removing the dominant roo can give opportunity for another one to crow.
Good luck I hope you only end up with 1 roo as willow is divine!
yeah, gracey (the black one.. though she's supposed to be blue? doesn't seem blue lol) has a pretty small comb. it's always been like that! willow's comb popped up bigger than gracey's when they were younger but hasn't made much progress since. albedo's slowly got red in it and then got pretty big and his waddles were heaps prominent so he was real obvious.I think the black one may be a pullet, i cant see much of a comb. the splash (who is very very beautiful by the way) is hard to tell because its bearded.

Reckless how long has he been crowing for? When my roo started crowing he did not do it every day. He slowly started doing it more often.
Being with other roosters has never stopped my ones from developing their combs or waddles and by about 3 months it was pretty obvious who was a boy and a girl.
albedo started crowing on july 10th. 8 weeks old i believe. he didn't crow every day at first, but now he does every morning.. usually. so he's been crowing for at least 2 weeks now.Urchin...I think you're black one is a roo. I can see the comb. It looks bigger than the others. I think reckless black one is a pullet
I wasn't sure from the photos as they look different colours in different photos but they look like they have similar colouring to my partridge hen in the first photo. If they are partridge the girls will stay as is but the boys will redden up suddenly and quite quickly change colour. If those are later photos of bjork and he has gone redder I'd think you are looking at a boy. Can't tell if its just the photo or him looking redder though.I've got 2 lovelies that I'd love an opinion on. This is Bjørk and Bjørn. They're 5 months old, and, they're identical in almost every way, including size and stature. Bjørn is on the left in the first picture. The second picture is him/her as well. Apparently, Bjørk missed the closeup photo op. I guess I'll have to try again later for that one.EDIT: I managed to pin Bjørk down for his/her photo session even if they're blurry...
