Is there a roo in the crew??? 5 week riddle

[Frankiegirl]

Hi all and happy Monday! I was hoping for your help on solving the mystery of the pullet or the cockerel! I have 5 chicks that are 5 weeks old today and we are beginning to see some changes...I’m keeping my fingers crossed but I’m fearing a I have a roo in my crew! What do your eyes see?

Thanks and have a great afternoon!

Maybe watch the last two closer, but the first 3 are definitely pullets

The barred one may be a cockerel

So the riddle continues now that the chicks are at 6.5 weeks. If you could weigh in on the pullet/roo riddle, we would greatly appreciate your feedback. Also, if there is a roo in the mix...what are the options? I am raising them for eggs and hobby and they will not be free ranging as a rule. We will have a coop for them with a run and are building a larger coop at our new house for them so we will ultimately have 2 coops. Do people ever keep a rooster in a separate area or am I simply making this too complicated as a first time chick owner? In the land of wishes and lollypops, I’d love them all to be pullets and live happily ever after...but I am afraid that is likely not the case so I am preparing for the reality and what we will need to do.

There is a Plymouth Blue Rock, WHite Leghorn, Pearl Star Leghorn, Americana, and Olive Egger(my suspected roo)

Please take a look at the updated pics and let us know what you think there are head shots and some body shots ...THANKS

All look like pullets except possibly the barred one

Here are a couple more photos of the barred OE. She’s mouthy and sometimes so it makes me wonder...especially since her chirps sound different from the others from time to time.
