Hi, we've got a small flock (first timers) and I am at a complete loss on how to sex them. I have my suspicions about a FEW of them, even though the local farm I got them from stated there is a 90% probability of them being all female. They DO offer a rooster exchange, but that's not until they are 10-17 weeks old. They are exactly 2 months old today. Also, I'd like to just verify the breed they were sold as. I really didn't know what to get pictures of and some of them were a bit camera shy so I did my best. Without further ado, here are the pictures!

Black Australorps:

Penny - Slight suspicion about this one being a rooster...







Pepper










Rhode Island Red:

Patty (& Peggy) - These look completely identical to each other, and are much smaller than the other 4, so pretty sure they are pullets




Ameraucanas:

Penelope











Betty - Largest of the 6, rules the coop, I have my biggest suspicions about this one




 
Penelope and Betty are Easter Eggers not Ameraucanas, and it looks like they both may be roos
 
I'm not very good at this but I'd say Patty is a hen. All the others look like roosters to me. But please seek more opinions!
 
Patty and Peggy are you're only hens. Penny and you're other amerucanas are ee's and roosters, Pepper might be an australorp but is a rooster also.

Also, the first one pictured is an Easter egger, not an australorp.

All look like roos but the RIR. Also the first black is an EE as are the Ameraucanas.
 
Pretty much what everyone already said. You have red hens, the rest are roosters.
