No Easter egger is 6

well, that's interesting. None of my French copper marans have ever had a pea comb. The roosters have all been similar to your number 5. A very obvious and "classic" red comb. It'll be interesting to see how that develops.

6 is a black Easter egger

Gotcha. That makes much more sense. Pictures are a little hard to tell but that clarifies things.

Thank you do you know any other breeds or genders

I can identify that one because my lavender Orpington was a roo also. Very heart breaking for us. Thankfully her went to a good home with other lavender hens

So at 5 weeks 6s pea comb was red with three rows and I’ve heard “three rows it will crow”

Yes, I've heard that.
It can be true, but it's not a reliable way to sex, in my opinion.

I can only keep two roosters and there is no doubt I’m keeping the lavender Orpington and if 4 is a roo keeping that one if not keeping the little copper maran

Hey tookie #4 never kicks anything and is really docile with the other chickens the only time it makes noise is when it’s caught it will cluck and doesn’t really have any spurs at all plus it and 5 hens follow the lavender Orpington roo and the lavender Orpington roo is the same age and he has a raspy crow he does all the time and he kicks things that make him mad like if another chicken steals a bug he kicks it but I’ve noticed in my little Roos when one roo kicks another they both stand talll and puff out their chest and then they both kick at each other but none of my older chickens do it back the lavender Orpington they either run or peck him and walk away
