11 week old and I seriously think I have 8 Roos out of 10 😬 what are y’all’s thoughts? It’s really tough to get good pics as they are pretty wild which also makes me suspect Roos.

This breed is easy to sex. In your pictures I see one pullet in total. All those with big, developed combs are cockerels. Pullets have a very small comb until close to egg-laying age.
 
Overlooked her as she was looking away. Boy, she's gonna be one miserable pullet when these boys get their hormones raging. Might be best to move her into a different living arrangement, perhaps with your favorite cockerel to give her company, at least until you can get some girlfriends to keep her company.

There’s one more hen in the mix, I just failed to get a picture of her. I have several more girls I can put them in with, just sad that I now have so many boys to get rid of. They are all the product of my first hatch so I was hoping to be able to keep more than 3 (both hens and one cockerel)
