I am new to chickens and I have three pullets I think might be Roos. I’m not sure what they’re crossed with but they’re Easter eggers. The rust coloring is coming through on this white and black one.. I’m thinking that’s a roo.

This white and orange one I think is a hen. But not for sure. The tail feathers have me wondering.

Then this grey one has small patches of rust coming through on the wings.

The first two white with the rust coming in are both cockerels. The rust and the big red comb and wattles are good indicators at this age.

The blue looks like a cockerel as well.
 
I don’t have a very good photo of this pullet but maybe someone can tell from the plumage, does this one seem to be a hen? It has the puffy cheeks and hasn’t changed color. This was about 3 weeks ago.

Without seeing her face, I would say that one is most likely a pullet (young hen). Her feathers are rounded and even color pattern.
