I have these little ones and I can't figure out if they are cockerals or pullets, I appreciate your help! oh and do u guys know if rose combs are dominant over straight combs?
I think I know this one, but any ideas on breed as well?

Number 1 is a pullets NH or Production Red
Number 2 Pullet
Number 3 BR Roo
Number 4 Not sure but looks rooish, but is not as showy as I would expect a roo.

How old are they? The pullet in number 2 is she near POL?

chicken 2 and 3 were born outta the same hatch which was the 2nd or 3rd week in may, 1 and 4 are the same age which was roughly a month after.
Chicken 2 is HUGE!
I need to rehome the roos, but idk which ones to call roos. I would have thought I would hear some crowing from the BR, but I don't yet. I don't expect to hear a crow from the wyandotte mix (#2) since it took it's dad til he was 6 months old to crow.
Chicken #2 stands like a roo, but doesn't show any roo like feathering yet.
Chicken #4 I have called brother, but now I am not sure (sister passed away

)
I have an offer for the BR cockeral from CL, but then got 2nd guessing whether or not it was a cockeral at all.

I was pretty sure that #1 is a pullet, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Kinda nice cause I had a wonderful hen that passed away last month that looked just like her.
