Need help determining sex. I bought what is supposed to be all hens (besides one Brahma roo.) I'm pretty sure B1 is my Brahma rooster. But I have some suspicion about a couple of the others. I've included pictures of all of them to cover all bases tho. (Also, to clarify the wire coop is temporary until they're bigger, it's not permanent.)

Thank you for any help!

The 1st Light Brahma pictured (B1) is the only cockerel I see.
Yeah that's the one I'm assuming because he's jumped up in size compared to all the other ones even though he's one of the younger of the bunch, in fact the bigger Americana was like twice the size of the others because she was the oldest, and now the Brahma is bigger.

Feathers always confuse me and always make me think cockerel, I think when they're molting the feathers always kind of look a little pointed down, but the feathers were making me think there might be a few other roos
 
I don't see any obvious signs of cockerels in the bunch... All look to be female at this point. Maybe the one you think is the cockerel you ordered is just slower developing.

Curious to see what others think.
The one I'm thinking is actually growing pretty fast, but I agree that I don't see much in terms of rooster characteristics. But the fact that he's like 2.5 the size of his clutch mate, makes me lean towards roo

They might not even be old enough to really gender them by hackle and saddle feathers yet. Some breeds don't get them until after 12 weeks or so. Brahmas are slow developers and I think there is enough redness to his comb and looks young enough to safely assume he is male.

Agree...
