Thanks!What you need to watch for is the color of the comb. Sometime in the next week or so, if you have any cockerels, you will see combs changing from light pink to yellow and then yellow-orange. By age six weeks, those boy combs will be red and you may see matching baby wattles under the tiny lower beak.
The pullets will keep their light pink combs until point of lay when they will then turn the same deep red as the boys.
You may have a cockerel. The fifth photo shows a somewhat yellowish comb. If it turn yellow-orange, you definitely have a boy.
