Thank you for responding, yeah that’s what I’m thinking too! The little blue in the middle is pullet I think, her feathers are different to the other three

It’s definitely tough... the blacks do definitely look cockerel though!
Thank you, I know... I’m so sad, we can’t keep Roos where I live and I’ve grown so attached to all of them already!
Thank you...
I just took these and I can definitely see a difference in the feathers now. I think the blacks are both boys, the splash/blue in the first picture is probably pullet and then I’m unsure/couldn’t get a clear look at the other splash/blue.
Thank you for responding!!
It’s dark here now but I can definitely try... I did just take these to try and get a picture of their feathers though, and it kind of shows the colouring better!
