Rooster?

Sorry there are no photos

The Easter Egger is looking rooish.

I have 4 chickens that I am not sure of.


This one is almost impossible to get a picture of!


This is one of my "twins". I call them that because they look so much alike, I have a hard time distinguishing.


This one worries me because it has a LARGE comb. (And there is my black sex link in the photo that was supposed to be a hen...that's some nice barring that 'she' is developing!)


Here is the one with the Large comb (on the left) and the "twins"

Thanks for any help. Someone said two weeks ago that they all looked like pullets but I am still worried!

The first 3 look like possible cockerels but they are to young to say for sure.

Hello! I hope you guys can help me out! I have had my first flock of chickens for a month and I'm a bit concerned at least half are roosters. They are now about fifteen weeks I think - 2 plymouth barred rock (I think these are both roosters based on their tail feathers?), a black orpington who is a bit younger, maybe only 12 weeks, and a white orpington which is supposed to be about 15 weeks as well, maybe a little older. Here's the photos (named by my kids). BB Lady Spangle Rocco and Alfred (jinxed those with the names...)

Those are all pullets. And the Barred Rocks look different than the usual ones we see here, because those are proper, breed standard birds, not hatchery quality. Both are pullets, and GORGEOUS!

You're sure? I knew they looked dark, but those tail feathers tricked me...

100% sure. Plus cockerels that age would have much larger, redder combs. The tail feathers look funky due to one of the many 'micro' molts that juvenile birds undergo.

Ah. Ok.

Cockerel.

Thank you! After researching last night and comparing the tail feathers to the others I became concerned.

Cockerel.
