Hi,

These birds are supposed to be Blue and Brown/Red but I know that Blues are only true usually about 50% of the time. I am looking for some help in determining roos from hens. I would also be interested in knowing what is considered standard for the two colours.
Thanks!

Pic one is a cockerel.
Pic two has a cockerel in the foreground with a pullet behind.
3 is a cockerel
4 I'm leaning cockerel, but I'd revisit in another week after the saddle feathers come in.
5 is a pullet
6 I could go either way with again... revisit this one
7 is a cockerel.
 
As for the colors I'd say you have blue, black, splash and what looks like it may be blue wheaten but time will tell (kind of surprised there isn't red coming into the wings already though so it may just be poor breeding causing the leakage).
