A little roo and three hens possibly?

Yep, looks like it!

I agree with you.

1 cockerel, 3 pullets.

Agree, but those girls are kinda light... I hope their feathers darken up when they molt

That cockerel is going to be so gorgeous though...well, males are typically really pretty.

I've got three more that age, just couldn't get them all in the pic. Along with 5 that are a couple weeks old, plus another 4 that a broody hen just hatched. Really don't know what I'm gonna do with them all.

"Rudy" is a pretty impressive bird. I've had a lot of chickens and this dude trumps just about all of them.

Are Buckeyes sex-linked? My two Buckeye chicks Erie and Kaska were two weeks old and had significant color differences, with Erie (female) being a bright tan and Kaska (most likely male) having a darker brown coloration. They both have the slate underfluff, so they are probably pretty pure-breeds, but I want to know. Also I have a picture, but my phone is being weird and not letting me post it, so I tried my best to describe the two. Thanks in advance!
(also Kaska is 2 months older now, and has a prominent comb while Erie doesn't so that's why I believe he's male)

I wouldn't call them sex linked but my males do tend to have more color as chicks, at least until they molt. The old man I got mine from said that at a couple weeks of age the females will have more prominent tail feathers than the males.
