1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 I was guessing that 1,2 and 3 are pullets and 4 and 5 are roosters am I right or wrong

That’s what it looks like to me.....

If 4 is a Dom, then that's definitely a roo

this is my little boy at around 7-8 weeks

I agree that 1, 2, and 3 are looking like pullets, and 4 is a cockerel. Not 100% convinced 5's male, though (although there's a good chance of this), so is there any way you could update us in a couple weeks?

4 is not a Dominique it is a barred rock mix the mom is a barred rock the dad is a mix

 

[garp94]

IF the dad does not have any barring, then #4 is definitely a boy.
Barring is a sex linked trait. Girls can't get the barring gene from their mom, only their dad. So if dad is not barred, that's a boy that got the barring gene from the mom.

Agree with above.

Possible dads of all of them the blue one is a dad and the one by himself is a dad the light one on the post is the uncle or brother
