Breed, hen or roo???

I've been watching my Bobs, waiting to be able to identify hens or roos. These were taken today and a few days ago, I see only one obviously darker head than the rest. I'm guessing they'll obviously be easier to identify as they get older? If I only have one or two roos in the batch could that be why there's been no squabbling between them? And I never knew throwing some loose hay in one of their compartments would make them all sooooo happy!

1- legbar mix
2- some sort of bantam mix cockerel
3- pullets, can you get a closer picture of the small one?
4- leghorn mix or EE mix pullet
5- what kind of comb does she have?

Wow, you have a lot of mutts. Lots of pretty ones in there.

There are indeed!
Do you think "Red" is a pullet or cockerel? At least 14 weeks, the 4 on the roost are hatchmates. Red is a full size chicken, the others are bantam mixes.

That's a cockerel. If he has a modified pea comb he's likely a brahma mix. That bantam cockerel with the heard looks like a d'uccle mix. Does the pullet to the left of him have a rose comb?

That one's comb is just a little line with tiny bumps, so I don't even know what to call it.
But I know who the bearded ones mama is, she's a cross-beak. I plan on keeping him. I'll post a pic of her. Well, actually his daddy's in this picture too!

Hey, are you up for trying to determine girl/boy on these buggers?

Will the boys have a bit of black ring around their necks?
