Hen or roo??

I think they are all girls. #2 looks like a red sex link pullet to me. At 4 months their combs would be starting to to grow and turn red as they get ready to lay.

#2 is a rooster. I see male hackles and a sickle feather forming. I'm not real sure on the other ones. More pics would help.
 
I think they are all pullets. By 16 weeks you should see much larger and redder combs and wattles on them. Here is a picture of a rooster from one of my sex-link hens, and he is 15 weeks old in this picture. Both of the roo's you see in this picture are 15 weeks old.

Those are all pullets. None of them have hackles or sickles though the first pictures posted may have fooled some into thinking so based on the coloring of the feathers. None of them have combs large or dark enough to be roos.
