Is it the long tail feathers that make it look like a roo? I am completely clueless and thought they all looked like roosters haha

Yes a rooster will have long tail feathers orp#2 I wouldn't worry about as much as #1. #1 looks female-ish but I'd jeep an eye on it

This one also hatched out with the others but i'm positive it's a female - please tell me i'm right?!

the first 4 pictures all look like roosters to me--look at those tail and neck feathers, along with some dark reddening of the combs, wattles and faces. #2 might be a hen. The last single pic is a hen, and a really cute little girl is holding it! ) Hatched in January, you should be able to hear crowing very soon from some of them.

Thank you she is definitely the cutest in all the pics I'm glad to hear that Pearl is definitely a female she is my daughter's favorite and is by far the friendliest - she follows my daughter around like a puppy it is so sweet. I will keep my ear out for some crowing, I haven't heard anything yet but am up at the crack of dawn with my 5 week old daughter just about every morning so if it happens I shouldn't miss it haha

I am updating this thread because I still don't know if this is a boy or a girl! All the pictures above turned out to be boys and have been crowing and doing their thing with the ladies for over a month except for this one. This is an updated picture and is orp #2 in the above pictures I originally posted. If anyone can help that would be great!

Looks like a roo to me, kinda looks like he is sick or something, the white color around his eyes, does he mope around?
