My 3 week hunch seems to be mostly correct (not sure about BO) and these 5 week chicks are beginning to fight so I need to re-home Roos! Hoping for gender verification. Ordered 5, got 5 extra, think 4-5 are roos. I don’t want to accidentally give away a Pullet, but I have too many, and yesterday several had peck marks on their beaks. Thank you for helping!
1. BR Roo. Tried crowing today:

2. BR Pullet, gentle, flock leader:

3. EE Roo, bossy, red comb, struts:

4. EE Pullet, shy, avoids handling:

6. GC Roo, sex link? Started identical to pullet:

7. GC Pullet, so sweet!:

7. BO Roo (I think), fights woth

8. BO Pullet (I think!). Very gentle:

9 and 10: Left, LB Roo (I think!) smaller than other LB, but very upright, and pointy tail, Pullet right, stays lower to ground, fluffy tail?

I don't either. Both BRs are definitely girls. Their feathers are too dark to be boys.
Woo hoo! I wondered about that, but the comb was so much bigger. Actually, the one With the bigger comb is my least favorite, pecks HARD at treats, my hand! And the other BR is one of my favorites. Maybe I’m skewing toward my faves! Although I love the grey EE, and the brown EE is super flighty.
