Golden Penciled Hamburg Find the Roosters

[mediazeal]

I have 5 GPHs, all 11 weeks.
I definately have 1 roo. He has the most developed comb. I thought I had 2 more roos because it looked like they had some comb development.
Now ForSure Roo is getting in black tail feathers and still has the most developed comb. The rest of them have not developed more comb/color or black tail feathers.
Do I have only one roo?
Here are tons of pics to help me decide.

Here is the ForSure Roo and a pullet.

Here is possible roo2

And possible roo 3

Here is a ForSure pullet today

Looks like a cockerel & 4 pullets to me.

That would be awesome. Someone told me you can get non-dominant males that 'masquerade' as pullets when there is a dominant male.
I have 3 full size roosters plus the one for sure cockerel in the coop right now. So these smaller birds are way down the pecking order.
Thanks

I saw your ad for the 3 "roosters" somewhere and I too thought that you had some more pullets mixed in there. I'm glad you're taking a second look at them before letting them go. I think you have one roo and the rest are pullets.

First, cockerel on left.. pullet on right.

Second, Cockerel.

Third, Pullet.

Fourth, Pullet.

Fifth, looks like a pullet but still needs time i think.

Awesome
You are all saying my 2 additional possible roos are pullets.
The cockerel and these two are the only ones with ANY comb at all. The other two pullets have completely flat combs still.
When I started thinking they were all 3 roos, their combs were much more similar to the cockerels.
Thanks very much
I'm delighted!

I see all pullets

In some colors of breeds the hens and roosters have a totally different color pattern.

see the obvious difference between hens and roosters of the golden penciled hamburg.
