Looks like a hen. I can't see any rooster feathers. Does your bird have pointy feathers right in front of it's tail. These are called saddle feathers and if it has them then you have a boy.

That silkie cross looking one I would say is definately a Roo, do you have a whole-body shot of the one in front from the side?

two pullets



hmmmmm.......possible cockerel in front. Pullet in back. Are they the same age?

 

[nickmancity]

they all the same age ...the Sussex in front is the leader of the pecking order .......and ive been told my pet Bantam is a Roster too ....

At 26 weeks, that Sussex would have skinny/shiny/pointy saddle & hackle feathers and, in general, look roosterish if it were male. Her comb is a little more developed than her sister's but it's still girly.

The Silkie cross is the only male I see here.
