Hi guys!
I am new to chicken keeping and have started my flock with 3 cinnamon queens, 1 easter egger and 3 orpingtons. They are currently 5 weeks old! I cant believe how fast they grow. Despite me browsing countless forum and articles/pictures i still cannot figure out what is what. Any help figuring out whos a rooster and whos a hen would be much appreciated!

Will have to take some individual photos tonight!
For each chick individually a close-up showing the comb and wattles is very helpful. Our interest is the size and color. Also do you know the breed?

A second photo showing the legs. profile, and posture is also good. Heavy or long legs often mean boy. An upright posture can be male. And sometimes the profile can be distinct.

Your Cinnamon Queens are red sex links. If they are red they are girls. If they are white they are boys. Those are easy.
