At a loss... is this a rooster??

[ACurtis]

so I have a group that are 15 weeks old this week. They are Easter eggers (supposedly mixed Americuana and leghorn). I had two very obvious roosters they started crowing at 6 weeks old and are very beautifully colored... I have a couple more now though that I was dead sure were hens but they have seddenly become very colorful. They aren’t crowing or aggressive at all but very colorful. Dose the shiny green feathers mean they are a rooster?? I always thought if they were colorful it was a rooster. Here is a picture of the two I thought for sure where hens... any idea?? Does anyone have hens with the shiny green feathers?

There are 3 boys in that first pic. Shiny feathers are boys

3 cockerels. Try moving this to the 'What Breed or Gender?' Forum.

Here I labeled them.

Thank you both!! Makes me so sad. In the last picture you labeled the one marked boy is Rosie. She was the first I grew attached too... she started getting those shiny feathers a few weeks ago and I just knew but was holding up hope :/ ... also, the very colorful black one is my sons favorite... I was hoping all the random colors were due to its black feathers ... but it just keeps getting even more colors pulling through.

Also, to the other response... thank you I didn’t know there was a gender breed board . I will get a better picture of the three I’m thinking are roos and post on there.

You can tell when their tail feathers are shiny and start to arch down

Cockerels, for sure, on both of them. Just gorgeous.

All black feathers sheen green or purple, and thats no to a good indicator. My BJG hen sheens both green An day purple. But I do see at least 2 cockerels.

You do indeed have two boys there. Frazzemrat1 is absolutely correct. All black feathers will have a green/purple sheen in the sunlight. Its not an indicator of sex at all.
