Hi new chicken owner need help!

[Jschmit06]

Hi! New here just starting a flock. We have 6 chickens 1 cuckoo maran(large black 8-9 weeks) 2 Rhode Island reds (8-9 weeks) I think sebright bantam (8-9 weeks) the 2 gray are blue New Jersey Giants (4-5 weeks) I’m trying to find out if any of them are roosters or if it is too early to tell the cuckoo seems to be the leader of the older group and the lighter of the grays seems like the boss of them

It may be too early to tell but behavior isn't an indication of sex. Pullets will fight and vie for dominance as much as cockerels.

There's a lot of photos you've attached and it's a little hard to organize but I think one of your RIR might be a cockerel. All the others look like pullets to me at this stage.

I agree that females and males will fight for dominance in the pecking order at this age and you won't see rooster behavior until they're a little more mature. In my experience, the top girls can show more dominance than a boy until he matures and starts to woo and mate.

The bantam is a white laced red Cornish bantam, not a sebright. I don’t see any obvious cockerels at this point.

#2 ; cuckoo maran is male, and both Rhode Island Reds are male
The rest are female

Thank you I wasn’t sure the sign just said bantam and from pictures I tried to pick the closest
