A friend of mine hatched a bunch of Blue Andalusians, and gave me 5. So, they obviously aren't sexed. They are about 6 weeks old. They vary in size and color a lot. (I'm suspicious the gold ones might have gotten cross bred.) However, I noticed last night that they ALL have spur bumps on their legs. Are they all cockerels?







 
All chickens have spur bumps, so it isn't a reliable indication of gender. With that said, all of the birds pictured look like cockerels.
 
As far as I can tell none of them are injured. That's just dirt on the foot.

I think I have 1 hen, there's one that isn't pictured here that has almost no comb. So I'm thinking that one is probably a hen.

I'm not exactly sure what to do, since I'm going to have to get rid of any body who starts crowing, which will happen before the hen is fully grown and moved in with the main flock.
