3 week old BO cockerels?

[RNjoy17]

Hi all

I currently have 7 BO chicks and am noticing some differences between some. I have 4 that have basically no tail feathers yet (just little pin feathers starting), and appear to stand taller than the others. The other 3 have 2-3 inch tails, and seem almost "fuller" when it comes to feathering. A few of the ones with no tail feathers almost appear to have a pinker comb and the beginning of wattles. What really caught my attention yesterday was that one was either attempting to clear his crop - or trying to crow. The whole lot was supposedly pullets. Does it sound like I may have some cockerels on my hands? Do BO's have distinctive characteristics separating pullets/cockerels at this age?


Will attempt to post a few pictures.

First photo is one of the chicks with the beginning of tail feathers. There are 4 like this

Second photo isn’t the clearest but it is of two chicks that are a little more feathered and have some tail feathers

That a bummer.... TSC sold be supposedly just pullets. It still appears that 4 out of 7 are cockerels
