So are these pictures good enough for you experts to tell if the BOs are male or female? I appreciate the comments. I have four that I am not sure of. Thanks in advance. T

also can you tell me what leads to believe it. what signs to look for? They were born the first of April so about four months old

How old are they?

It's hard for me to see with my phone... But I'm guessing the ones with the curving/ curling tails are roosters but I'm not sure... How old are they... Roos usually get a red big comb at a fairly young age and as they get older you can tell by their saddle feathers and their neck feathers.... Hopefully someone familiar with the breed can be more helpful.

The three birds up front are male. They have a slightly darker shade of buff on their shoulders/wings and long, thin, pointed male saddle feathers. I can't really tell if the buff in the back is male or female. If it's got similar feathers near the base of the tail as the other guys, then it is male also.
