easter egger, approx 12 weeks. approx 12 weeks. mixed breed

Both cockerels... and they both appear to be "regular" mixed breeds (either that or you have a very weird homemade EE?)

These 4 are Easter Eggers all the same age, bought from the feed store on September 8th, 2016 making them about 6-7 weeks old now. I believe the first two are Roos (the red one and the blackish one with the sad tail feathers) and the last two are hens. The blackish one's tail feathers were nicer and more rounded but the bigger red one and a few of the other chickens started picking on him and plucking them out and he's the smallest out of all four of them by far. The two suspected Roos definitely show characteristics of being male including their temperament and a different chirping which I think is them trying to learn to crow about a week ago.

Thank you so much for your input, that is what I was afraid of. I'm not supposed to keep a Roo in city limits here let alone two and I have read about those "No-Crow Collars" but it doesn't seem fair to take a Roo's music from him. That's part of what makes them special and I love the sound of both hens and roosters!

These 2 are Buff Orphingtons both the same age bought from the feed store on September 8th, 2016 making them about 6-7 weeks old now. I believe they are both Pullets but one of them (I believe it's the darker one) does challenge the two EEs of the same age that I think are Roos.
One the left is the lighter colored one and on the right is the darker one.

These 3 pics are the lighter colored one.


These 3 pics are the darker one.

These 2 Golden Laced Wyandottes are both about 6-7 weeks old now. I believe (and hope) they are both Pullets. Super friendly and sweet birds. But when I compare the two, the Darker One seems like it's starting to develop pin/pointed feathers around the neck which worries me that it might actually be a Roo but I'm not at all familiar with this breed.

no crow collar do not stop the crowing they just limit the amount of noise they can make. They can still Crow. I also see two pullets and 2 cockerels.

I'm going with the lighter one as a pullet and the darker one as a cockerel but i would hold onto the dealer one as it may be a faster developing pullet.
