Can anyone tell me how old my hens are?

[cyberchick]

This is my Sussex which I bought as POL.

This is my Bluebell again bought as POL

My Barnevelda, really don't know how many weeks.

My Buff Orpington. Again no idea how old. The person I bought them from was away when I went to collect and is still on holiday.
Can anyone guess how old they are and the age they normally start to lay? Also hoping that my Buff is a Hen and not a Roo.
Any help is appreciated.

The first 3 I'd say between 10-13 weeks . Are they clucking or chirping? The BO is younger, judging by its size, but not by much.

The Sussex and Bluebell are clucking, I haven't heard the barnevelda make a noise and the BO is chirping. The BO is also only just getting feathers on its back.

I have 12 BO that are now 5 weeks old and are about the same size and feathered about the same as yours so I would say about 5 or 6 weeks

My guess is 15-17weeks for the 1st few. But just a guess

Definitely not 3-4 weeks. I'm guessing maybe two months? Maybe a month and a half? She's also definitely a hen. My buff orpingtons are a month and a half and they're not close in maturity to yours yet. (Though it could just be the angle of the photo) However my few 'definite' roosters have highish red combs already.
