Are these cockerels?

I’m pretty sure that all are females. Definitely the two GLW. Not 100% sure about the BO.

Thank you! I am relieved.

GLW pullet... BO is too early to know, but looks pullet for now.

When do you think the BO could be determined? Out of my 12 "pullets" I definitely have 1 Cuckoo Maran cockerel. If I have 2 cockerels, when could they possibly become problematic? Right now, the only place I have to give away a cockerel is a farmer who most likely would process him. I didn't ask, but...... I don't want to give anybody away until I am certain they're cockerels and until there is a problem. If I have only one cockerel, I might even try to keep him until the neighbors complain.

If you have two cocks there is always the chance of them getting along fine if one is less dominant. Having two cocks doesn’t mean they will fight no matter what, it all depends on how their able to work out the pecking order. I know one of my friends that have about six full grown Roos that live in the same big coral. No fights there. It all depends on the type of Roos they are, aggressive or docile.

My Buff had us fooled for quite some time. They are slow developers. My Hazel was bright red comb and wattle but no male feathering. Just when we almost traded her (chickened out) she started squatting and laid an egg three weeks later. Give the buff some time

This is Hazel at 16ish weeks
