Hello all! So I believe we might have 5 roos. Looking to rehome and don't want to jump the gun if they are pullets. I am submitting the best photos I could take and ask for your help ID'ing :)

1. Austalorp (first 3 pics). We purchased 3, born on Easter, that were supposed to be females. This one pictured has a bigger and redder comb than the others. S/he will be 6 weeks this Sunday.
2. Polish. We have two golden laced roos here I believe. The female's crest feathers is a lot less spikier and more rounded. These two pictured are #1. "Moon Pie" in first 2 pics and #2 Frizzle in last pic, more carmel colored, both now 6 weeks old, sold (I was told) as hens by a mail order hatchery.
3. Wheaten roo (last 2 pics)?!? Hatched at home by a FB group member a couple days before Easter. 6 wks old now.

Thanks in advance for your input!

Australorp is definitely a male.
Too early to determine with the Polish. Wheaton Ameraucana is male.
The barred bird in background in the last photo is also male.
Sorry you ended up with so many boys.
Thank you! I'm sorry too :( We plan to keep a couple, but will have to rehome at least two by the looks of it.
