Help me sex these birds please.

So we've raised these birds since they were a day old. They are now 17 weeks. They were alleged to be all females, but I'm pretty sure we've got 3 cockerels and 2 hens. Also, if anyone knows what breed the black one is, I'd welcome your opinion. I'm starting to think it might be a raven.

You are correct - 3 cockerels and 2 pullets. The black pullet is an EE.

The one with alot of white and the beard and NO waddles(an easter Egger i am guessing) carries himself like a roo, Your black is an EE as well with the beard and no waddles looks like a pullet, and your 3 that resemble barred rocks, in my opinion there are 2 roo's and one pullet. I go off of the feathers on the saddle(right before the tail). The males will have longer ones, and they will be pointed at the tips where as the females are more rounded off and shorter.

at the 0:30 mark in the video, the one barred rock looking one that goes down to the bottom right corner is the one i would guess as a pullet. and the raven as well

Thanks everyone! The white one (Hank) does a lot of posturing with the two BR roos, but always backs down when confronted. I was told Hank's parents were Ameraucana, but then again I was also told I was getting five ladies. The three black and whites are barred rock. Interesting to hear you think the black one (who my eldest son named Pollo) is an EE also! Funny that he named her Pollo, which we though meant chicken in Spanish. Little did we know it actually means COOKED chicken! Gallina is a hen.

well the black one had a beard, and No waddles so it def has to be an EE, and hank's beard and lack of waddles shows he is an EE as well, i would believe that atleast one of his parents is ameracauna
