Do I have a rooster??

[Cookie's_Clucks]

I have some Buff and Blue Cochin Bantam chicks about 5 weeks old, is there any way to tell if I have any males?

Any of them have big, red combs? Or you can post a picture and we can out any boys.

Ok, first of all, I must say I could be wrong about the color and breed in the first place. I do know they are bantams, but that is all I know for sure. I am just assuming they are Cochin. So maybe you could tell me for sure, but anyway here are a couple pictures and I'm sorry they are not very good. But you might be able to tell some of them have larger combs than the others.

Looks like a rooster to me.

you really have to wait until 7-10 weeks of age when they start crowing to really tell if they are pullets or cockerels. mine just hit 9 weeks today and this morning i had a suspect hen start crowing!

To me, they look like they could have Rhode Island/New Hampshire Red in them, and the blue have some Blue Andalusian in them (I'm not sure, the ones I have are merely 2 week old chicks.)
It's hard to find out unless you look up their vent. I'm new to sexing chickens myself, so I wouldn't know what to look for, but in a few weeks you should know with the crowing, spurs, etc.
If you must know now, I'd open up a new thread asking this.

Ok thanks everyone! Time will tell!

My black Cochin bantam started crowing at 7 weeks. I just looked at his pictures from the same age, his comb started to turn pinker about 5-6 weeks.
