Looks like 4 hens and a rooster (the 5th photo). A picture of the head and face of number 2 would be helpful.
Pretty flock!

Thanks! I thought number 2 might be a rooster.

Here’s a few more. They won’t stay still.

Yeah now that I see more I think your right! Are any crowing yet?

None have crowed yet.

I’ll be curiously watching this thread. I also have 4-5 month old Wyandotte’s. Two I’m confident are pullets. One I have been anxiously watching.
interesting to see if any others chime in with different thoughts.

These 5 are almost 5 months.

#2 and #5 are cockerels, the other three are pullets.

Not sure where you live are what type predators you have but the chicken wire your run is covered in can easily be torn through by lots of animals including raccoons. If your able to I’d replace it with 1/2” hardware cloth!

We have only had problems with hawks and eagles over the last 3 years, and nothing breaking through the chicken wire but it’s probably best to be safer. I’ll look into it. Thanks.
