Cockerel or Pullet Game

[M Brennen]

Okay, so I am starting to freak out thinking I have a bunch of roosters. My birds are now six weeks (will be 7 on Thursday) and I still can’t figure it out. Sometimes the legs look thicker than others (could be breed specific), some have bigger combs (again, maybe breed related), some are pinker than others. The only one I know for sure is a barred rock and I am suspect about another that is an auracana.

You do have some birds with larger brighter combs, and I'm not committing on them yet. the barred Rock lower right in the last picture is a cockerel for sure though.
I am seeing pullets too.

Thanks, Mary. The barred rock is the only one I’m sure of. It’s killing me not knowing and wondering what I will do if I have more than couple roosters

I'm seeing at least two probable cockerels. The barred rock looks like a definite cockerel. And the grey and red one in the back, in the third picture, looks like it might be a cockerel as well. Could you get closer pictures of the comb? The rest seem like pullets to me, but closer pictures of the ones with pea combs would help.

That’s the one I suspect might be also. The pea comb bird doesn’t have much for visible wattles. The barred rock developed a couple weeks ago, so I was hoping any more would be that noticeable. I am starting to get a bit nervous thinking that maybe I have a bunch of late bloomers.
