Hens Or Roosters PLEASE HELP!

[Bleueyes72]

I have some pictures that I took last night of the babies in question. Can someone please educate me on how to know if I have a hen or a rooster.
The black and white little one is 7 weeks old while the other two are 7 weeks and 5 days old. Pics of the birds in question (head, body, feet) the last pic of feet go with the first picture of the black and white one. Some have 5 toes. It’s a weird thing.

They’re kind of young to be certain either way. Pictures from the side so we can see all their feathers and then from the front to see comb development is helpful. Also numbering the birds in each photo. Some breeds have five toes. I am not familiar with all of them. But knowing what breeds you have can also help determine if one is a rooster because some breeds have male-specific coloring that is obvious early on.

That being said…i think the first barred one is a pullet. Ditto the second. The third one looks like it could be a cockerel based on the shape of the back feathers but it’s still early to say for sure. The fourth one looks like it could be a cockerel based on comb development but the pictures don’t show body feathers and without knowing the breed I wouldn’t be comfortable saying for sure on that one either.

Thank you for replying! As far as I know, the gal said Easter Egger and Olive Egger. So I should probably ask to have someone help me determine the breed as well.

I will go and edit the pics and take post better ones as soon as I get home. Thank you for your advice on how to make it easier for everyone to diagnose. I’m still learning and this is my very first post!

Last one is a boy. So 3 girls and one boy.

Ohhh of course! The sweetest one! Go figure! Thank you for your help!
Would you be able to help me with identifying their breed? I will take better pics when I get home.

"Easter Egger" and "Olive Egger" tell what color eggs they are expected to lay.

People usually use those terms for chickens that do not belong to any particular breed. (Otherwise people would say Cream Legbar or Black Ameraucana or whatever breed they actually are.)

I think yours are mixes of some sort, probably multi-generation mixes where it's not possible to pick out exactly which breeds were involved.

The second chick, the brown one with the black details on her tail, looks just like my easter egger, but without muffs. The last chick is definitely a rooster, judging from his large comb, and he looks like an easter egger as well. Not sure about the other two, but they don't look like roosters.

Ahhhhhhhh thaaaank you for clearing that up! I sorta knew that but I’m still learning. And yes, you are very correct about “multi generation” . I figured that was the case with the questions that could not be answered by the person we acquired them from.
