All hen.
The only questionable one is RIR 1 because of the blurriness. But pretty sure she's a hen too.

I agree... they all look like pullets, but the blurry picture of #1 RIR?? Lovely bunch you have there. You should have eggs by now.

But look at one of each breed .... Theres one of each one that looks more developed i thought i had 3 roos and 3 hens. (No crown and no eggs)

Different individuals develop at different speeds - it's easy to let this concern you and make you start to second guessing things - but I agree that they look like pullets....at 18 weeks of age they are just now reaching the point at which you might expect to start seeing eggs.

I'm seeing all pullets as well! You should get eggs within a few weeks! Gorgeous girls!

At 18 weeks of age IMO a cockerel would be trying to find his crow by now. I agree that different breeds look very different with combs and wattles. My Ameraucanas have tiny combs and the BSL and RIR have large combs and wattles.

What about that barred rock? The one with the bigger comb and stuff? Also, We found ALL of the chickens at the top today and not in the run.... how come?
