Does anyone know? I am new to EE's and I am dumbfounded. One of the ones I was sure was a pullet crowed this morning. The black one in front of the white one on the last pic. I really need to know. They are cooped together.
They all look like roos besides the black one in the last picture and maybe the other one in the last pic

The frist two Roos for sure
Very pretty ones though
They all look like roos to me too except for the black one in the last picture...
How old are they??
If it makes you feel any better, I once hatched ameruacana eggs and of 15 chicks hatched, 14 ended up being roosters....
Then I hatched 9 silkies - 6 roosters, 3 girls.....
My incubator is a male hatching incubator apparently...

That's funny. I think I have all roos. The black one in the last pic. has been crowing!
I would guess roos on the first two because of the tail feathers. On the second two, because I can't see the tails I would have said a pullet on the black one because of how it's tail and feathers look.
But if you said it crowed ... then OK. But I have a hen that crows. But I think that someone on BYC said they do that when there is not rooster to crow for them that one will take on that role. Don't know if that's true, but she will definately crow. Not all day long just everyonce and a while in the morning you'll hear her crow.
Maybe you could wait and see if she also lays and egg????

Top 2 are definitely roos.
White one - most likely roo? Can you take a pic that shows the entire tail and the legs too?
The back one was the one I thought was most likely a pullet, until I saw that it crowed. If it crowed at this age, I would think that it would be roo - I don't think hens crow unless there is no rooster and they are trying to take the role on - not the case here. A full side shot of that one would help, if you're still not sure.
