Thanks, they are the cutest thing you've ever seen after you've been looking at Cornish X's for an hour.

I heard the ones with the rounder combs might be hens, is this true?
 
Hard to tell, but looks like you have a few roos. The way i tell on my silkies is that if the comb is raised and squishy feeling, prob a roo. If the comb is firmer and flat more than likely a hen. The older they get the easier it will be to tell the difference.
 
I was able to tell male from female on mine when they were little chicks.. after a lot of time studying them.
It is kinda hard to tell on yours because of the angle of the photos... looking down on their heads from a higher angle is easier. #1 is a Roo.. on the others.. the roos will seem to have a more typical fat triangle shape to the comb from above.. while the pullets will have a skinnier triangle comb from above.
