New chicks, mixed assortment (unknown breeds) -Updated pictures 6-7 weeks old (seeing red!)

any new pics?? i want to say 2-3 pullets

I think these two are EEs. They probably just haven't developed their beards and muffs yet.

Here is a picture of the yellow head on.

Chipmunk:

I am not sure but, I think the first three are boys. I think the fourth one you are gonna have to just keep an eye on it could be a boy or a girl. I think the last two are girls.

So the chicks are 5 weeks now. I have my suspicions on the roos, but I want to see what the experts here think.
I like this picture of all of them so I have to share, it was from last week and I can't believe how much they have changed.

Carmen:

Eloise:

Olive:

Sunny (was Matilda but I changed her name)

Weeble:

Willow:

I dont think you should be as worried... Eloise, carmen and willow are roos from what I can tell the rest are pullets

I did get some shots today of them. Weeble was hiding in the shade so there are no new pics of her (it has been over 100 here!).
Carmen/Carmine

(There is a shot of Sunny's head in the second pic, I didn't get any others of that one)



Here is a poor body shot of Sunny:

Elliot:


Willow:


Olive:



We finished the coop, here is a shot of them enjoying their perch with a view.

And a funny shot of Willow deciding she wanted to be where Olive was, needless to say they both went off the perch. You can see Weeble in this picture.


I cannot have roosters, I have been fretting over what I am going to do since I have become attached to these guys!

I agree with dandydool...the first three are roosters but the fourth looks like it could be a hen but it could also end up being a rooster (hard to tell with the different combs) ....and the last two are definitely two hens.

I have been calling Eloise Elliot, I am pretty sure that one is all boy. I stare at Willow hoping that I can will her into a pullet! Olive has been showing some roo traits, fighting a lot. She/he was biting Sunny on the head the other day, I didn't like that behavior. Carmen is funny because he/she is not dominant and is always the last to take treats. Sunny was like that but she has warmed up and takes things from my hand. Oh the suspense is killing me!

hmmmmm Sunny is the one with her/his head sticking up in the third picture down right? it doesn't look like much has changed it could be that sunny is a hen.

Yes Sunny's is looking up in that pic. Sometimes her comb is red and sometimes it isn't. She is only two colors as well, I have been waiting for some flashy color to show up but nothing yet, which I believe is a trait of an EE roo.

the thing that i am looking at is that her comb isn't larger like the other roos. unless roos with those type of combs don't develop until later? :/
