Is Janet a Janet and Fiona a Fiona... Or a James & Finn?

Hi everyone! Fairly new to chickens and my neighbor had given me 5 chicks he had thought were pullets. They will be 6 weeks Saturday 10/29. I'm in denial but my guess is Janet and Fiona are roos - thankfully neighbor said he'd take the boys back if so... But have gotten attached to them!

"Janet" is the all grey
"Fiona" is the bantam frizzle mix
And Henrietta is the gold/brown mix (who I'm pretty certain is a pullet)

They may be roos, but it's still too young to be 100% sure! I had a Lavender Orpington and a Jersey Giant that looked like roos, but so far they're my best layers

Figured still need to wait out a few more weeks but getting antsy to know for sure. They are so entertaining and hard to not get attached. Appreciate the reply!
How many weeks on your two that you were confident in knowing for sure?

Pretty much until they popped an egg or two
Some of my girls have enormous waddles; could just be genes but it sure looks funny!

Guess that's a solid sign of knowing. LOL. My neighbor has a bunch of different breeds that all intermingle.. So random genes definitely may play a role and am keeping my fingers crossed ladies.

"Fiona" is a cockerel
I am leaning towards "Janet" as a cockerel
I would say Henrietta is a pullet

@Overo Mare @Tookie @JedJackson thoughts?

Fiona is a definite cockerel. Janet could go either way IMO. I think Henrietta could too honestly.

Please post updated pics of Janet and Henrietta in 2 more weeks. Full size individual pics work best.

Welcome to BYC!

All three look like cockerels to me. I hope not, but those combs are pretty big and colorful for that age.

Fiona strongly leaning cockerel. The other two I'm suspicious of, but not convinced either way. Definitely keep an eye on them.
