Hello! I need assistance in sexing my chickens. I am pretty sure I have two hens and two roosters but since I have grown quite attached to all four I want to check with others with more experience before I rehome my roosters (not allowed in our area).

You're right. The Australorp and RIR both have sickle feathers.

The Barred Rock is definitely a pullet, just by coloration, and your Buff also looks like a pullet.

Good luck in rehoming them.
