Do you see any boys?

Hello, we are new to raising chickens although I had four growing up but that was decades ago! We bought 9 1 day old chicks from Meyer Hatchery on May 30, one died in an accident we have 2 Golden laced wyandottes, 2 Black australorps, 2 buff orpingtons, one silver laced Cochin and a buff Brahma (our biggest sweetheart!).
I suspect one or both of our australorps are male. Which we are kinda hoping for one guy to have around. These girls (and perhaps some boys) are 12 and a half weeks old. The australorp with an all black head is ‘Crow’ and the other is ‘Tiny’. Tiny is the one I most suspect being a rooster, took forever to get any tail feathers in and his tail has always stuck ‘up’ more. No one has started crowing yet and our Cochin and Brahma still do chick type sounds (no bawking yet for them!). Here are some pics of our precious little flock, please tell me what you think!

It looks like the australorp in the second picture has the potential to be a cockerel but the rest seem to be pullets

Ah thank you! Yep that is the one I am suspecting too.

They all look like pullets to me at this point. Your description of the development of the Australorp you suspect does sound like it could be a cockerel, though, so maybe he will be a late bloomer.

At this point all appear to be pullets.

Your black one in the fourth picture has yellow skin between the toes, may just be a hatchery thing or she may be a Jersey Giant. They all look like pullets to me!

Thanks so much for all of your replies. I guess if all are pullets we can choose a rooster breed we want. Kiki, I did not know about the color of the feet with australorps! It was strange bc the australorps look very different from each other. One’s head is completely black (comb, beak) and her head shape is different plus she is almost as big as our buff Brahma! Maybe we do have a New Jersey Giant by mistake! Good catch, you all are so knowledgeable I would not have ever noticed this!

If anything your black australorps might be cockerels but the other look like hens. My Brahmas made chick like sounds until they were about 4 months old. They look beautiful good luck!

easier to sex them IF they don't have their heads at the ground. We need them up and facing front to check combs. Otherwise seems like all pullets
