From what I saw with my birds, It looks like this to me:
A: Roo
B: 1 pullet, 2 roos
C: Facing, Roo
D - G: Roos
But, that is only from my experience with 1 batch of SLW. My batch was from a breeder, and I've read on the forum that sometimes breeder v.s. hatchery SLW look a little different. I hope you get some more Pullets. I am in the same boat now and I'm going "UGH! Statistics are 50/50, why does it look like I have 7 Roos and 2 Pullets?!?!?".
Edited to add:
Can a chick have a cleft palate? I have one roo? who has one messed up upper beak...named him Floyd?
I just saw this. I had one of my BLRW that had a funny looking beak (kind of off to one side, not like a crossed beak, but like a skeletal deformity). I got some great info from the breeder as well as Katy
. I planned on letting her ride it out, but eventually she kind of stopped eating properly. She didn't seem like she was going to make it, so we had to cull her. If you post pictures of your bird's beak, I'm sure you'll get some helpful tips on what it could be!
Here is the picture of Floyd:
