I hatched out 2 chicks (black) 5 weeks ago (along with some other easter egger eggs I bought) in my incubator. My sweet girl Maggie hatched out 3 chicks 8 weeks ago and I have identified one as Jethro! He's got some fascinating colors. My question is about the 5 week old black chicks I have. Do you think the one could become a rooster? I sure hope not.

Here's one with the other black chick:

And here is Jethro at 8 weeks:

The last one is definitely a cockerel. The others I'm not sure on.
