Hello,

I have 6 chickens who are 7 weeks old now. How can I see the difference between a rooster and a hen?
(I'll send later some better pictures)


 
They all look like pullets in the pics you provided though they are a little hard to see to know for sure. Individual pics would help.
 
No one's screaming rooster at this point. This is usually the age the males start getting those big red combs and in a group like yours, would stick out like a sore thumb.
 
None of those birds look like cockerels. As Donrae said, a rooster would have a larger, redder comb at this age.
 
Ooh, nice pictures!

Yep, those are all little ladies. The blue/grey ones should be quite striking when they're grown!
 
That'd be a wonder if they'd be all females! Knowing that those eggs came from a fridge, 440 miles away from my home. They were just a gift, because we had never seen green eggs, but we went to a breeder and it was already a little wonder that there were 6 chicks!
