Please tell me hen or rooster!

[mom3]

Here are some pics of them: Are they still all roosters?

We have 2 white ones (you can see one of them with his eyes closed, which he's done since the beginning), 2 brown, 1 lite brown, and 1 full darker brown, aka foot pecker.

They all look like boys to me.

Pointed hackle feathers, looks like the saddle feathers are growing, definite curve to tail feathers.

I agree with Jean....Those dreaded saddle feathers will do it every time!....

I am noticing points forming on the crown.

But the ones that have points, have to big tail feathers.

How can I get 6 roos? No luck?

The white one in the first pic and in the bottom right of the third pic does not strike me as a roo...I'm not seeing any hackle feathers.

How old are they again? They look like roos to me.

 

[mom3]

They are almost 4mths old. I think they were born on 5/1/07.

The big tail feathers mean rooster?

 

[mom3]

Does anyone else have any guesses? Do I need to take better pictures?

Roosters have to go as the neighbors will kill us.

My kids were really hoping at least one would be a hen, but no eggs yet.

sorry. deffinant roos. pullets lay at 18-25 weeks.

i would guess they are all roos too based on the shape of the hackles. Hard to see on the whites but they dont have the hen shape to them. Bum deal!
