First time with chickens and I purchased 5 Pearl-White Leghorn and 10 Cornish Rock X and the threw in a free rare bread. All were purchased as females except for the freebie... which turned out to be a male Cuckoo Maran. All the Cornish Rocks X were butchered at 10 week and now I have 4 Pearl-White Leghorns left and the Cuckoo Maran.
Still waiting for eggs but I'm not sure how this works with it being fall now.

Any way so I am wondering is if any of them are cockerels.

This is the one i am most curious about... as it has the largest comb of the 4 of them. I thought I had other pictures of all of them but when I pulled them up on here a couple didn't turn out.








here is the Cuckoo Maran


 
All your Leghorns look like pullets.

That first girl looks closest to laying, but still a month or so out from the looks of her comb. It needs to get bright red and plump, indicating sexual maturity and thus..eggs!
 
Ah thank you for the reply. I was curious about why their combs were not red yet. Thank you for the info
 
Your leghorns are all pullets.
