Help! We are new to the chicken world and now feeling overwhelmed. Our chicks are now 4-5 months old. We were supposed to have 8hens and one rooster. I know for a fact that we have two roosters and I fear most of our hens are Roos :( .sorryt he pics are bad but I've trained the chicks and they follow me. I can get better pics when my hubs is home to help

I'm pretty sure the one in the second picture on the right is female and I have two black ones I am also fairly positive about. The wyondette s are throwing me off. The silver one I was sure about but now I question all of them :(

Your speckled Sussex look like pullets, and your Wyandottes both look like cockerels, but not as old as you're saying they are. How positive are you on age?
 
The wyondettes in the picture will be 4 months on Thursday according to the breeder (we got them in may and they were 3 weeks old then). I have 1roo that was sup to be a too that is 2 weeks older and 1 roo that was sup to be a hen that is 2 weeks older too. I think all my wyondettes are Roos :(...the one in the picture was sup to be guaranteed a hen but se looks like a male to me
 
Really need a better pic any crowing? If they truly are that old I'd expect crowing and definitely trying to mate by now the females also would be very close to pol and starting to redden up so that may be throwing you off.
 
Ok so taking pics of the chicks is not my forte! Here is my Sussex in question

She is my youngest but her tail is slightly different than the one I think is female
 
Here is my silver too and the other silver is the one in question it is 3 weeks younger than the roo

Sorry I know it's overload but my husband and I wanted chickens for the past 14 years but we weren't able to at our last home. We just bough a new house where we can have them and boy are we stumped and worried. Any help is appreciated!
