I agree with chris....only the one pullet. The others' combs indicate they're roos.

Looks like just one hen, sorry

haha no worries, it looks like everyone agrees with the same thing, now that thats out of the way i need to get rid of 3 roosters and replace them with hens...

mgauv For the last many years I have only raised silkies. But from what I remember of the buff orps, rho-isl- reds and others, the white is the only female in the bunch...The combs being bulkier, bumpy/ pebbly looking are male traits. Females have a thin, smooth comb that is small in nature. All colored males will have feathers that start to show iridescent coloring of blues and greens on their tails, wings, necks. White males can show a shine to their male plumage as they mature.

I hate to say this, but if they're only 8 weeks old there's a chance the white one is a roo as well. Normally pullets won't have a red comb & wattles until 15 weeks or later.
