    No matter what your reason for raising them is, you will get better results if you give them proper housing with enough room to get away from each other. Keeping them housed in too small an area leads to stress and injuries, which in turn leads to disease, losses, and reduced production. You...

    To be absolutely certain without a blood test I'd say point of lay or crowing, which for my Leghorns was 18 weeks. ETA: But if you notice any growing pointy feathers on their necks or lower back, or the tail feathers curving down before that, you can be certain that one is a male.

    Older males have pointed feathers along their necks and on their lower back. Their tail feathers will curve downward instead of being straight.

    I can't tell from the pictures, but usually by this age the males will weigh more than the females. If any of them are noticeably heavier or larger than the others, they are probably male. If I remember correctly, white Leghorn pullet weight at this age should be 85-90% of the males.

    Honestly meaty looking or not they're standing too upright to be Cornish X at that age. That's usually processing age for them or close to it.

    No, they look like leghorns to me, just that they've been picking at each other.

    I would think that Cornish X would be much larger than that at 7 weeks.

    I would make sure that you have enough space for them. If they are pullets and are fighting, it's most likely a space issue. And leghorns don't have gaps in their feathering like that normally.
