These are my first chickens, I thought it would be a bit more obvious at this point to pick out the boys from girls :)
No crowing yet, no eggs yet. They are about 18 weeks old.
Can some one tell me for sure? -- The two white ones are the ones we really aren't sure about, the rest we think are hens. But speak up if you think any of the others look like roosters. :)

2 look like buff orps, 2 prod reds or in uk we call that one columboan blacktails and 2 look like cornish x

they all look like they are POLS with that redding in the comb soon to lay at that too



edit: one white looks like a roo the back one

I have 16-week-old chicks. One clearly became a rooster at least a month ago. Not only is the shape of his body completely different than the others, but he started crowing. I think your white one def looks like a roo. Is he crowing yet?
 
not sure on breeds..but the white one in the 4th pic is a rooster...I am very surprised none have either crowed or laid and egg...most of the rooster I have ever had (and I have had about 18) started crowing at 6-8 weeks old...and 2 of my hens (Red sex links) started laying at 16 weeks and 1 day
