Hi - We are new to chickens; received 6 chicks hatched by my son's friend - they are now 6 weeks old. Wondering if we can tell the sexes. His rooster is a Black Austrolorp. The hens were Buff Orpington (2 eggs), a Black Austrolorp (1 egg), Plymouth Barred Rock (1 egg), and Delaware (2 eggs).

As I'm not familiar with chicken behavior, I feel like they are all acting like roosters at one point or another, except for maybe the last chick. I hope I don't have 5 roosters...Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.
