First time chick raiser, pullets?

[Brooksy21]

Hi BYC, so I have 6 girls but I want to see if anyone thought otherwise. I have two BO’s which you can see together, one is a little bigger and has bigger and redder comb and waddle. They are almost 9 weeks. I have two BA one has a black comb the other has a light comb. They are also almost 9 wks. The one with the light comb is a bigger bird. And then I have two Easter Eggers that at almost 10 wks most likely with Legbar genes. The golden one is smaller and gentler really the best behaved out of them all but has more reddish comb and waddle, the darker one is much larger and is more skittish towards me and aggressive towards the flock. Any thoughts?

The buff orpington with the larger comb, the big combed easter egger and I think one of the australorps are cockerels.

I didn’t buy straight run, these are all supposed to be pullets.

Which EE and which BA?

I'm on the fence for the Black Australorp.

So you think the darker EE is the Roo? She really doesn’t have waddles yet but by her size and behavior I’m tempted to agree. I guess we shall see. I’m hopeful none of the Australorps are Roos. I’ve been looking up picks of 8-9wk BA cockerels and they all have much more red combs and waddles. I am thankful for the feedback though. You are lighting fire to my fears of them all being cockerels.

Here are some pictures I found of roosters for BO and a BA at 8-9 wks. These combs and waddles look a ton bigger and redder than any of my girls. I’m hopeful.

Here’s all my girls and a close up of the BO that has a little more comb and waddles than the other
