Hoping you guys can help. I need to make space and really need to get rid of the excess boys here, so any imput would be great1 My first choices to go are the two brown leghorns, as i'm sure these are boys, as is the buff sussex I think. Any other very obvious boys at this stage??

Here is RIR chick 1, faint pink comb, small legs:

X2 that's what I was thinking to. The dom might be a roo though???
They're kinda young to tell yet post more pics in 2 weeks, and it will be easier to determine.
 
So I think I can safely loose the 2 leghorns then? Thanks so much for the help! I'll give the others a few more weeks!!
 
They look to be the same age as mine. My leghorns and blue Andalusian boys have huge combs like yours! It's amazing how fast they grow. I think your buff Sussex is also a boy.
