Please help me sex my welsummers!

[JoeInPA]

Hi all, I'm new here and I have 5 Welsummer chicks that are about 5 weeks old. I'm trying to sex them and I am not quite sure if they are hens or roosters. I'm afraid I've got all roosters. That would be some letdown. I've attached as many pictures as I could. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

4 cockerels, 1 pullet.
The one with the smallest comb is a pullet.

I was afraid of that. I thought that the smaller one is maybe just a runt as she has always been smaller than the other 4. Here are some more pictures.

Well I'm disappointed. Obviously I can't have 4 roosters. Does anyone near southwestern pa want a rooster? I would even give the pullet away to a good home as I don't think one chicken would do well on it's own.

If you keep the pullet and one cockerel ... you won't have lonely chickens for long!

I suppose but then I still have 3 roosters to get rid of,.and I don't know if I'm ready to be breeding birds. This is my first time around with chickens.

If you do keep a hen and a rooster, you can look forward to this!!

Yeah, sorry. The prognosis is poor.
