I'm trying to figure out how many of my 7 chickens are roosters. The Salmon Faverolles are easy, I think... because 2 have black feathers. But here are the two Buckeyes... what do you think? One has slightly curved tail feathers.

Looks like a hen to me. I'm no expert, but it looks just like my hen Betty who is laying now and her tail is like that too.
 
I think the first one might be a pullet, although I cant see her comb very well. The second one may be your cockerel. It's not the tail feathers you want to watch really. It will be the saddle feathers which make their appearance around 12-13 weeks.
