white ones look like leghorns.. first one looks like an EE
1=boy
2=girl
3=boy
4+5 = girl in back boy in front.

Too early for me to tell, but if I had to guess, I'm saying the EE is a roo.

 

[sully707]

Thanks. that seems to be what i was thinking. From what i understand, leghorns develop larger combs early but the roos combs turn red early.
The EE has an awsome personality. I've always suspected he was a roo from early on. I wish i could keep him but one of my neighbors would hang me. I'll find him a good home where i can visit often.
I'll post pics in a few weeks with my younger chicks.

So the ones that you called Roos are the first ones to start a chest bumping play around the yard when i have them out. they are definetly more aggressive than the other 2. is that a sign that they are Roos? The EE is definatly dominate too and has the most personality. Im gunna hate getting rid of him.

1 is a roo and the rest are hens

Don't get rid if them till they start crowing and they have pointy hackle feathers
