Help me figure out my confusing mosaics please!

[Ilovechickens2525]

Hello, I have 5 mosaics, 2 are 10 weeks old and 3 are 5 weeks old. I’m inquiring about the two 10 week old ones who are confusing me and actually harder to sex than the 5 week olds! I’m just inquiring about their gender, not the quality of breeding or whether or not they are pure bred. I’m a backyard chicken-er, not a serious breeder. These are just pets. But I am only keeping then hens and need to figure out who’s a rooster to make room for the younger ones.

1 has been a suspected cockerel. He has been pretty relaxed but did display some rooster stance behaviour yesterday (I know hens can do this too), he and my definite cockerel svart hona were challenging each other; however, he was just moved back in with the group. 2 has been very calm, has been with the svart hona cockerel the whole time and no characteristic rooster challenging. They are 10 weeks old now.

For reference I’ve attached a pic of each of the 5 week old ones. Two are clearly cockerels, they’ve had those bright red combs and wattles since 2 weeks old! The one outside in the grass is clearly a female in contrast to them. Neither of these 10 week olds have been so obvious.

Edit: I’m noticing the pics did not come through in the order I added them. The three pics that don’t have numbers are my 5 week olds that I included pics for reference, I’m not inquiring about those 3.

Here are some pics of them at around 6 weeks old, for comparison. The comb on one has always been bigger than 2. However, the difference is not as significant as with my current little ones…

Both numbered chicks are cockerels

That was my fear

I’ve got two other ten week olds, different breed. But one is clearly a cockerel, the other is an Icelandic and has basically no wattles still so I think a hen.

I know when you’ve got two the same gender it can be harder to tell. So made me think uh oh, my beloved number 2 one here might be a cockerel too. Ugh,.. it’s always the ones you love!
