Delaware hens or Roos!?

[WPchickens]

I have read that Delaware Hens have solid black tail feathers with white tips while the roosters have black and white barred tail feathers. Well all four of my Delaware 6 week old chicks have barring on their tails. I wanted all hens and no Roos. Am I doomed??

Color has nothing to do with it. From what I can see maybe 1 or 2 males update in 2 weeks

I agree with fluffy lambs, it looks like only 1 or two roos

This is the one I’m pretty sure is a rooster.

All Delawares are barred. So if they aren't barred, they aren't Delawares. Hens typically have lighter barring, but it's still there.

We need to see pics of combs/wattles (head shots) to sex at this age.

I know they all have barring around their necks I’ve just read the tail barring is what makes a difference in gender.
