Gang of 6 what are they breed/sex

[Gatordog]

I think there are 3 roos and 3 girls in my gang of 6. They are about 10-12 weeks old and 3 have larger combs, while the other 3 have no combs. This is a pic of Big Betty she/he is much larger than she/he sisters.

This next pic is Big Betty in the background and Chula is to the Left. Chula also has a large Comb. See what you think. Chula is also the peep that will always stand as Sentry when they are resting. The girl in the front of this pic is Jr and notice the lack of a comb.

The next maybe roo is Sophia, which is my favorite, and likes to be held.

I hope the pics are posted correctly. Don't know how to post pics. FYI, I have a Mac.

I think Jr is the only pullet there. As far as breeds, they look like they might all be mixes. The last one may be a Barred Rock mix.

Thanks for the reply, I am pretty sure Sophia and Big Betty are Roos, since yesterday they had their neck feathers displayed and were play fighting. Looks like they were trying to see who was the tallest. Sophia does not have a chance against Big betty.

Should I separate them??

So far, no signs from Chula.

Hopefully I will only have to get rid of one Bird, which would be Sophia.

From what I can see I'm not convinced any of them are roos. It's not to say they're not but I find the hackle and saddle feathers to be the best indication of gender and from what I can see in these pictures they look pretty round.

The breeds look largely like easter eggers except the last one which is obviously a barred rock.

The pullets will also play fight and display their neck feathers so that doesn't necessarily mean they are roosters. It's all part of the pecking order.

And as for separating, there's no need to as they've all grown up together so they'll develop their own pecking order and get along just fine.

I see what you mean, I re-checked their feathers and all are roundish. I guess only time will tell. Here is another pic of Chula which is one of the possible Roo's

They'll get their sadde feathers with time. At 10-12 weeks old most roosters won't have saddle feathers.

Big Betty - rooster
Chula - rooster
Junior - pullet
Sophia - rooster
