Lisadickerson, it is still very hard to tell. I have had hens that have a comb early on end up being a pullet, but right now mainly some of the black ones look like cockerels. You will start to see more signs in the weeks to come. You will know for sure in a couple months

@calichicken Do you have pips yet? Chicks? You've got to be close! Lol

I was talking with my Dad the other day and I think I solved the color problem!
We were talking about letting all the birds free range...since there will be so many soon...he mentioned that if I needed to separate out for breeds I can separate them again for a few weeks and then they Will be true to who they are breeding too...

I only waited a week before I collected eggs for hatching...chances are both Hens were being covered by both roos...even though I only saw one roo doing the job at the time...that's about the only way to explain how I ended up with Calico Frizzles! He wasn't crowing when they were all together but he was getting the job done! Lol

Out of 6 frizzle eggs I have 4 frizzles now and only one looks a little like mamma...blue in color!

This one was hatched the 31st, the 3 smaller ones the 4th...I think the smaller ones are roos...maybe...maybe not the black one, it was hatched with that large comb...got it's feathers fast...obviously more feathers than the two little light ones...
