Do you see more than two cockerel?

[cstephens1987]

Just double checking. I have one know BV cockerel and one known EE cockerel. Hopefully the rest are pullets. For reference they are just about to be 8 weeks old.

Is BV Barnevelder? The speckled bird looks like a cockerel.

Yes I was referring to my barnie pictured in the center of the last pic. Hmm so the Sussex? I've had a couple moments where I questioned that one due to comb size but it had stayed fairly pale.

The bit of wattle color had me a tad suspicious though

I only see one for sure. I don't think the SS is a cockerel.

Hi, usually a roosters comb when they are young is quite a bit bigger than the hens. Also check the feathers on the wing the hen has two layers of feathers and the rooster only has one. If this doesn’t help maybe check and see if you can find a video on YouTube

Hope not. Here's some more pics of her ( I hope).

The only one I'm concerned could be a cockerel, even though the comb doesn't say so, is the grayish ee with the rust wing bars. That's a very typically male trait.

If you're talking about the EE in the first pic he is most definitely a cockerel. He's been sporting those wings and that big pea comb since about 3 weeks old and gets more rooster looking by the day. the other known cockerel is the dark barnevelder you can see in a couple pics. Here's the two known boys.

The bottom one definitely looks like a cockerel and the top one comb shows signs it a cockerel as well.
