Farm store chicks

The one in the lower right is the only one with no saddle feathers. The others feathers appear to get larger by the day.

Photo of the 1 that may be a female.
Unfortunately I think all are male, the 1 who doesn't have saddle feathers yet might be just a slower maturing Easter Egger male with a pea comb. In the group shot I see blotchy coloring, pointy hackle feathers, and shiny green-black feathers growing in his tail.

How old exactly? If it was a pullet getting that red, it would be at point of lay, so probably around ~6 months. I'm guessing these birds are a bit younger than that?

Going to have to find some homes for this crowd. Rooster are a big no where I live.
We have been concerned for the last 2 weeks and thought an outside opinion would be good.

12 weeks in our yard. They were fresh hatched when picked up.
