Hey there corewassen87

Again, just my humble opinion and please do not make any judgement calls based on it.

With the new images #1 with the comb development, swaying towards cockerel.

#2 and #3 I am thinking pullet.

#4 has me stumped, don’t know either way.

#5 swaying towards pullet.

#6 Not sure, but if pushed for a guess, pullet.

#7 swaying toward cockerel.

They are very cute little stinkers

It's just so hard! I'm attached to the little things and I hate to have to let any roosters go but they just don't work for me. Of course my best little buddy is a 90% roo
 
Yep, I hear ya!

We live in a no rooster zone and I have had to find new homes for a few. I had one hatch where, due to badly shipped eggs, only two chicks hatched.

I hung onto those two as long as I could while I sailed down the Denial river but sure enough, both boys and both had to be found homes.

It is hard! I am now at critical chicken mass (6) according to the local laws and also any more would require coop and run renovations, which hubby has now outlawed

If anyone decides to go broody now .. No eggs for you; come back 1 Year!

Kinda off topic...have you ever ordered from meter hatchery or know anyone who has and how the luck was?
 
Nope, I am in Australia

I have ordered fertile eggs only from breeders within Aus. Some have been posted and some have been pick ups, with varied success rates.

If you search Meyer Hatchery, you will see lots of posts with people's opinions and experience.
