I don't know about the rest, waaaaay to early, but I'm pretty sure #2 and #5 are roosters.

3 & 5 are definitely pullets - I think #1 is a pullet too, but not 100% sure.

2 & 5 are roos, but they don't look like EEs to me. Leg color, lack of muffs/beard & comb type don't match. It looks like #2 has a straight / single comb - what type of comb does #5 have? If it came from a white egg & has a single comb, than I think it would be a leghorn. What color egg did #2 comb from?

1, 3, 4 look like pullets to me and the other two little roos.

#5 definitely has a different comb--it almost looks like there are 3 ridges to it with the ridge in the middle being the highest. Also, the comb has turned very pink recently. The weird thing about #5 is that he looks all white but when I hold him and look at his feathers I can see 3 random black feathers growing in in various areas.

#2 hatched from a light brown/buff colored egg. His legs look mostly yellow but I can see some green spots on them too.

Thanks for all of your help!

It sounds like #5 has a pea comb, so it is not a leghorn. Since it came from a white egg, I'm guessing it is a mix between an EE & a leghorn, which makes it an EE too. #2 may be one also - mixes between EEs & other chickens may be missing some of the usual features (pea combs, muffs, etc) found on the hatchery EEs, but they are still called EEs. Both #2 & #5 are roos though.

Thank you so much! My husband and I have had our suspicions about these two from the beginning. Hopefully #1 turns out to be a pullet but time will tell.

Temperament wise the #3 and #4 are the sweetest ones in the group. They actually seem to enjoy being handled and actually come when called!

I guess I will just have to hatch some more eggs to get a few more pullets
