Pullets or Roos?? <fingers crossed!>

[NatalieB]

Ok let me know your thoughts on these birds!

#1 Is a silver spangled hamburg 5 weeks old

#2 is a buff orpington 5 weeks old

#3 Barred Rock---one dark one light which is which??

#4 Blue orpington 5 weeks

Thanks!! Let me know!!!

I's guess 3 pullets... and 2 cockerels. the light barred and the last one are cockerels.

the red in the comb and waddles is a good indication at their age.

I don't know anything about hamburgs, but I would say that's a pullet. The buff orp looks like a pullet. The dark br is a pullet and the light one is a cockeral. The blue orp is a cockeral.

the hamburg and buff orp look fairly pullet-ish....

the darker barred rock is a pullet and the lighter one is a roo..

the blue orp looks splash, and fairly roo-ish. combs that early on a orpington usually means roo

I would say all pullets except the light colored BR (one on the right) and the blue orp, both of which look like cockerels.
