5-6 weeks - need gender help!

Buffalo and Joey are Speckled Sussex. Underbridge is a Barred Rock. and Minnie Pearl and Effie Mae are Buff Orpingtons. We got them 5 weeks ago and they were all between 1-5 days old. Any guesses?

Thanks in advance!

I think Minnie Pearl is a rooster. . . and maybe Buffalo, too. The boys have redder and bigger combs.

Underbridge looks like a CM, not a BR. His feet look white

I'm not up on chicken acronyms yet (but based upon my new-found OCD, I will be soon). What's a CM? The woman I got them from bred those 3 and white leghorns. Not sure how the picture came through but in person the front of Underbridge's legs look like they have been rubbed with charcoal.

Cuckoo Marans (aka CM) are a white legged, dark egg color laying breed

Here's a new chick picture of Underbridge. Looking CM or BR?

Your pictures are so precious! I'm new here too, but my barred rocks' legs look like Underbridge's... So whatever you have, I guess I have also.

from the picture with the boy, i would put a nice sum on that being a Barred Rock. The legs look darker along the front, a good sign it is a barred rock pullet
