Cockerels???

[nashyboi]

So basically long story short I posted about these babies maybe 3 weeks ago. And yall said that it looks like a couple could be males. Well now it’s lookin like all but one are males. And I aubviously can’t keep only one chicken. So with all things said lmk what yall think at seven weeks old.

I don't see anything that would indicate they're males. Yes, the ones in the rightmost photo have a little comb to them, but they're also 7 weeks old. I'd wait a few more weeks, then post again.

Of course, if someone starts crowing, you'll have your answer!

Agree with @thecatumbrella, the don't scream cockerel from the looks. I've posted some at 5 weeks old, so I understand wanting to know as soon as we can about the cockerels. You and I will both be posting again in a couple of weeks for opinions.

You didn't believe me?

They're all still pullets, you don't have a cockerel chick.

Some of my pullets had more comb than that at 6-8 weeks (they're now hens who've been laying for about a year).

Certain breeds just develop quicker, or have larger combs. Then individual birds of the same breed will develop at slightly different rates.

Couple of mine had me sweating in the middle of winter when I saw those combs coming in.
