My chicks are 6 weeks old now. They are all supposed to be pullets but I am suspecting that two may be roos. I'm a first timer and I hope I'm wrong! I can keep one rooster but probably not two. I'd love your thoughts!

Here's the first one, an Easter Egger my nieces named Elsa (may have to change to Elvis)

Here's a better view of her/his feathering and tail.

And this little Buff Orpington gal/fella. The comb is bigger than the four other BOs I have the same age and this is the only one showing wattles already.

Sassy personality!

The first bird is female.

The orp looks girly, but sometimes the boys are sooo slow to show themselves with Orps, it's hard to say pullet with confidence at this age.
 
Thanks BantamLover21! Glad to hear everyone thinks my EE Elsa is a pullet. Now if the BO does turn out to be a little boy, I'll be able to keep them both! :)
