Here's a couple Chicks I am in question about gender? I have a feeling the Australorp (3 Pic's of same bird) and the 1 Wyandotte are the only Roo's out of the 20 chick I have,, The other 2 Australorps haven't got as big or as bright comb and waddle as the one pictured and the Wyandotte pictured doesn't look like the other 4 i have,,,anyways whats the opinions out there?





 
How old are the birds in these photos?
What leads you to believe the GLW is a cockerel? Is it the comb? I ask as it appears this bird is developing a single comb, where the other birds likely have rose combs (the accepted comb per breed standard) - the difference is not so much gender related, but a matter of genetics with the undesirable single comb popping up in this bird.
 
They will be10 weeks on 7/2/15
 
That was what I figured ,, I'll be thinning my flock down to 12 before winter so theres plenty of hens,,thank you for your help
