Looking for some help determining gender!

[farmerwannab]

Please help me out. This is my first experience owning chickens... and even really being around them. Now, I got all four of my girls the very same day and was told they were all 3 day old pullets... Problem is that I have been getting two eggs every day for the last week so I'm afraid my fears are confirmed and two of me "shes" are actually "hes". What do you think?

the first one looks like a cockerel. is there any way you can enlarge it? the curvature of the tail alone says cockerel while i think i can see saddles coming in plus he looks darker compared to the other 2

The first and last pictures look like boys.
Don't quote me on it, but it looks like the feathers are pointy and curved near the tail.​

here are the pictures enlarged... the last pic is my most aggressive bird. has been almost since day one. thanks for the help!

how old are they? the 2 in the middle are for sure pullets and the first i stick with cockerel but the last one im iffy on

 

[farmerwannab]

20 weeks. if the last one happened to be a hen would she me more than a week behind the others starting? Sorry, may be a stupid question from a newbie!

i have 3 laying pullets/hens and i either get 0-2 eggs a day and they are older than yours (getting close to a year old now i think they are about 8-9 months old)

Does the one in the last pic try to mount the two in the middle?

 

[farmerwannab]

Not that I have ever seen.

I currently have six 23-week old pullets/hens and two 19-week old pullets. I get 3 eggs/day at the most right now from that group. My older hens (~18mo or so) also don't lay daily and never did.

All of your pullets could be laying, but not on the same day/schedule.
