Your babies are adorable!!!

Named after the Barnyard Dog bunch from Looney Tunes:

They are now 5 weeks old and I think I might have 4 roos and 1 hen ... curious on others thoughts.

Banty -> roo, based on comb but not as assertive as the others
MissPrissy -> roo, most developed comb and pick on others
Henery -> roo, comb larger but not as red as other, behaviour
Foghorn -> roo, but I really want them to be a hen, did not develop as quick as others and got picked on for a bit but has a distinct comb now and walks around very upright, smallest of the bunch
Egghead -> hen, calmest, no comb colour and smaller size
