Oh my! Husband and I were in the backyard this morning and heard a loud, clear "cockadoodledoo" (or "kokekokoooo" according to the Man) coming from THIS 14 week old fellow. No more doubt about his "manhood"!
A few weeks ago, you folks said that this is a cockerel. Just posting a new photo, age 12 weeks, to see if you still think so. More comb than my other 2 EEs. Thanks for helping this Newbie!
LOL, the vote is split then! I so hope Chiquita is a pullet; really don't want any roosters, just layers. Abba is much more aggressive than any of my other five chicks.
What do you think about Essie Rae here? This was last week, so nine weeks old.
Here are today's pictures of Abba (who you folks have already declared a cockerel) and Chiquita, who I do think is a pullet. Age ten weeks. Thoughts?

Thank you both for your evaluations. I know I simply have to wait to be sure, but it's hard because I'm getting attached to them all, but do not want a rooster. Here's a better picture of Chiquita's body:
