3, possibly 4, 5, 6, and 7 are all cockerels. Better pics of 4 please.

I will get a better pic later today and post it! You don't think 1 is?

I don't. Number 1 looks like a pullet but you could take a comb picture just to be sure.

1 is for sure a pullet. She has a female specific pattern.

When I said chick 4 looked male, I was looking at the white chick in that pic btw.

Ohhhhh. That makes more sense! Wasn't sure what you were seeing on the other darker one I agree!

So can you explain to this newbie what a female specific pattern is? I really thought it was a male because the neck feathers looked pointy to me. I'm glad I asked this group or I would have gotten rid of him/her without realizing!!!!
