Hi Folks! I could use some help making sure I have the right genders assigned here.

I believe all of the chickens I am going to post pictures of are Cockerels, but I want to be certain. Our county has an ordinance to prevent us from having any so I'll need to rehome these little guys but I want to make sure I've got them id'ed properly before I start reaching out and looking for a new place for them to grow up.

All of these chickens are about 5-6 weeks old.

First up is our all black Olive Egger from Tractor Supply. Has a mixed Gray and Black sibling not pictured that has a near identical comb coloration and shape/size:

Next we have Brahma #1

Then we have Brahma #2

And finally Brahma Number three. This one was extremely displeased with this photo shoot and wanted down so It was tough to get a good picture.

The Olive Egger has no noticeable hackle or sickle feathers. That is what I look for first when sexing.

I had read about sexing this way but hadn't really figured out what I was looking at yet. Appreciate the insight!
