Please confirm that I have 4 pullets and no roosters...

[DuckDuckSook]

Hello there friends!

My chicks moved out to their coop 2 weeks ago. They are about 8-9 weeks old at this point. I've included photos of them to see if you can all confirm that I have 4 pullets and no roosters. I was worried that the Barred Rock was a rooster based on behavior and how much bigger/brighter her comb is, but I think she just might be older and more mature? I have a Barred Rock, a Blue Australorp, an Easter Egger, and a Buff Orpington. Thanks for your help!

This is Nanette:

This is Indy:

This is Sylvia:

This is Posey:

Afraid that your Rock is a cock....

The only cockerel is the Barred Rock.

Sylvia and Posey are definitely girls. Nanette’s coloring is very light for a female barred rock. I don’t see any saddle feathers but I’d bet they will come in soon. I think Nanette is a Nathan! As for Indy, I can’t tell yet but leaning toward hen.

The Barred Rock is a cockerel.

Can you tell me what tipped you off that this barred rock is a cockerel. I am curious how you differentiate because I couldn’t tell.

He's double Barred(Real light), very red, large comb, & wattles.

Oh no. That is what we suspected, but I was holding out some hope. Would you all say you are nearly 100% sure about that? I will have to make plans to find "Norman" a new home. Thank you!

He's 100% a cockerel.

For comparison, my boy when he was a youngster.
