Hen or Rooster

[mrchicken]

Hello, my chickens are now 6 1/2 weeks old, and I haven't heard any crows yet (thank god) but one of them might be a rooster.
Please have a look.

Really hard to tell color in your pics because the whole pic looks re and is really blurry

If you could get a better close up without red light, a close up full body shot and a shot looking down on the bird please

But from what i can see it looks pullet ATM

Best Wishes,
Laura

Here is a picture of some of my chicks that are the same age.

All the same age? I don't know much but the grey one looks like it has a much bigger comb than the rest. What kind of chickens are they? (besides cute)

I was playing around with breeding my Isa Browns. I was told they wouldn't breed true, and they don't but it was an experiment.

Here are the parents.

The grayish one and the brown one standing next to it both look like roosters. The brown one facing away from the camera might also be a rooster, it looks pretty pink in the comb.

I know that the breeding stock for producing ISA browns is opposite of the colors you get when you buy ISA brown chicks--the breeding stock has brown roosters and white hens, and then in the "final product" generation, you get the brown hens and white roosters--it looks like maybe with yours the color switches again with this generation, as the white birds all appear to be pullets.

I think I see 2 maybe 3 roosters.

I think your chicks are pullets. Did you hatch them? I had about 50/50 boys and girls from my hatch, so I have about 2 dozen little boys.
Here is another pic of some of my last hatch. A couple of the chicks with the gray coloring definitely developing their combs and wattles faster than the others.

Here are some of my RIR chicks which are about 50/50 too. These chicks are about 3 months old.
