Hens or Roos?

[Kittykate]

Any help identifying possible breeds and whether the black and white ones are Hens or Roos? They are backyard mixes from a girl that breeds for Easter eggers. Large possibility the dad is a Cemani, but there was another Roo in the mix that was white but I’m not sure his breed.

They were hatched April 8th.

No crowing but our indentified roo hatched the same day is.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Cockerels. Interesting cross

All three look like cockerels- cool mulberry coloring on the combs and wattles.

Yes, all are cockerels.

I agree, but I have to say...what an incredible coloration you have, reminds me of those Marine Iguanas, with the black face, very striking!

The white one sitting in the background looks to be a cockerel as well.

Yes he definitely is. We knew he was from a young age from feather sexing. The others appeared to have the wings of a pullet but recently I started noticing they were looking a lil boyish the incubator strikes again! 5 of 8 turned out to be cockerels!

Thank you they are also incredibly sweet so I’m bummed I won’t be able to keep them all. I’ve always believed they were barred x cemani and was really hoping the sex linking coloring rule was wrong hahaha
