View attachment 1831955 I’ve got some leghorns, RIR and some EE. One EE (the big colorful one) Buster, I know is a cockerel, he just started growing and is much larger than the others. I have 20 in all. What I’ve been told on another thread is the rest are pullets. What’s your take?

You have one cockerel.
Those are some very pretty EEs! I especially like the silver pullet in picture #7.

No pointed/shiny saddle feathers, right comb size for pullets their age.

4wks, I'm thinking 1 cockerel 3 pullets. Maybe 2 cockerels.
Thoughts?

I'm leaning towards two cockerels and two pullets. Is it just the picture, or does the second one have a weird comb?

It does have a weird comb. He will be cull.

Assuming that they're purebred d'uccles, how would something like that pop up?

They're purebred. It's sidesprigs, which happens sometimes and is hereditary. Possibly recessive.
