Any chance this one can be a hen ?

Out of the 6 RIR we know we have one hen and then the other ones are getting very arched tails this one isn’t as arched Does anyone think this can be a hen or is this one a rooster as well thank you in advance! Also They all get along fine for now but they will be separated soon when we know what the genders truly are also they are 9 weeks old or at least we have had them for 9 weeks

Did you get them from the feed store by chance?
I was told - baby chicks have a hard time in transit when hatched and shipped. It can take up to 3 days. Many of the females die because they are littler thus increasing the boy to girl ratio even higher.
If it makes you feel any better I got 4 cockerels out of 6 silkies chicks.

We actually got the RIR from a friend who got a bunch from a farm we did get 4 more chickens from a feed store that they said were bovan chickens and they said they were sexed and they knew they were pullets so we know we have a total of 5 hens and now looks like 5 roosters of course we will keep 1 rooster but we know we don’t have enough hens for all the roosters we ended up with
