First time chicken owner here and I need help sexing them. I got them straight run from a backyard farmer and it appears that my luck is really bad because, to me, 4 out of 5 appear to be cockerels. Like I said, I am a newbie... I hope I am wrong, the reddish brown looks like the only pullet. Any insight for me? I snapped quick pics but can take individual ones if needed. Please tell me it’s possible for pullets to have such large and red combs and wattles at 6 weeks because I am already attached to these little guys.

I hate be that person, but I think they're all cockerels. I think the reddish one is the lowest on the totem pole and he'll pop out his comb in a couple of weeks.
I don't *want* to agree, but I do believe that's a strong possibility.

Well darn, if that’s the case I won’t be getting many eggs will I? Haha I guess we’ll have to buy some sexed birds from a feed store. My husband really only wants to keep one rooster and will probably want to make a meal out of the others. I thought they would be around a while so I’m pretty attached as they all have sweet personalities and my toddlers have named them after pawpatrol characters. Major bummer.
