3 RIRs (2 of which I can't tell apart in pictures) that were exactly 4 weeks old as of yesterday and 3 EEs (some random pictures thrown in, just want to show them off) that are exactly one week behind. I'm pretty sure the EEs are all female, but if you disagree, let me know... the RIRs were from a 4H sale and are supposedly sexed and all pullets, but I'm just paranoid (can't keep roos where I live, so if I need to part with one or more, I prefer to know ASAP). Appreciate the help!

































































This is a clear shot of why I most strongly suspect/fear this one might be a rooster... that comb...




There was quite a bit of chest bumping in an attempt to establish a pecking order this afternoon:


 
Bump... no help, huh? I guess I'll just wait a few more weeks and see how the combs are developing... and think pullet-y thoughts.
 
Going by the EE colors are saying pullets, but all together a tad bit too early, but nothing really rooish, but like I said I think a tad bit too early
 
Chickenpalz, I can't really tell either! I'll take another set of pictures this weekend and photograph them individually instead of in a group setting...

Chickenman76, I figured it was about two weeks too early... patience is not my strong suit. Can't rush nature though! Thanks for your thoughts.
