7 weeks old Pullets or Cockerels

[Laceyg126]

I posted the same query a couple of weeks ago and these are the last 4 that we are unsure of still. I was hoping since they are a bit bigger now, y'all could gimme your expert opinions once again. What do y'all think? Hens or Roos? They're a BYM with a Colombian EE daddy

All you think? I was pretty sure of all of them except #3. It's a cochin × EE.

All are very handsome cockerels!

I'm pretty sure its also a cockerel, but time will tell.

How old are they? What am I missing in 3 and 4 that indicates cockerel?

They're 7.5 weeks. I'm thinking roos bc of the size and color of their combs, as well as the eradic feather coloring on them. This is my first time hatching so I hope I'm wrong. That would mean I hatched 5 roos and 2 hens

Maybe it is because I am used to large single comb breeds, but the combs of 3 & 4 do not look that large and red to me for almost 2 months old. I can see betting on 1 & 2 being male at this point, but it seems as though any non-mature chicken with a comb/wattles with any sort of color gets labeled as a budding rooster, when I think that we could all go back and find images of our pullets between 6 and 14 weeks that would be labeled a cockerel if posted at the time.

Actually, that would make a good contest. Who has a "before" and "now" photo where the "before" photo would trip up the most people attempting a gender or breed id! I hope that is what you have in at least one of these last two, if not both!

I also think they are all cockerels. 1,2, and 4 for sure, but still leaning heavily towards male for 3 as well based on patterning and the size of its comb. I know it doesn't seem that large compared to a bird with a single comb, but I find with pea combs, pullets usually have teeny, nonexistent combs that aren't really visible until 3 months+. Birds with pea comb genetics are hard, so only time will tell.
