Hen or roo on mixed chickens

[Rooshens]

My chicken quad who are exactly 17 weeks old!
I want to say all are pullets.
I am told they were a cross between rhode island red and barred rocks.
I read somewhere that rhode islands have green feathers if male and i see greenish feathers.
any thoughts?!?!

All pullets. What you heard about green feathers (sheen), is wrong.

 

[cherrynberry]

They dont look like RIR mixes at all. They have a different body shape, like a black sexlink. They look awfully like black sexlinks to me.

I heard the egg song today so

Thank you! I heard the egg song for the first time today so i know at least one is soon to lay.

I agree that they are all pullets too!

 

[Painted Calls]

All pullets.

Agree with Cherry. Most black feathers have some sort of sheen (blue/green/purple) regardless of sex.

You could be correct!

If the hen was the barred Rock, that would make these black sex links, and all pullets.
