Pullet's or Roo's...please help!

[chickeeper]

We need help figuring out which chicks are pullets, and which ones are cockerels . These chicks are 9 weeks old. We have 3 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Americaunas, and 1 Barred Rock. The chicks are labeled (with food coloring), and have multiple pictures to help determine whether or not they are pullets or roosters. Please help! Thanks.

All pullets except Henny, who appears to be a cockerel.

Henny is the only one that I would suspect to be a rooster.

Henny is likely a cockerel.
On a side note, how long have you had the colored marks on their heads? I would immediately remove the red marking from Honey or you may end up with an injured chicken as the others peck at that red.

Henny is a cockerel. I am on the fence about the two EE, but think that they are pullets.

Lulu: Cockerel
Zazu: Cockerel
Henny: Cockerel
Dixie-Black Chick: Cockerel
Honey-Red Chick and Goldie Brown Chick are both pullets.
Congrats on a lovely bunch of birds!

Henny is a cockerel.
Obviously much redder and larger comb & wattles than the pullets of the same age.

 

[Izzychicky]

Henny is a cockerel, her comb color is red for her age.

 

[animalyodelers]

Not an expert here- comparing to my own chicks at that age.

Henny definitely a cockerel. I would be a little suspect of Lulu although she may be an early bloomer. The rest look like pullets to me, and nice looking birds!

As others stated above, your definite cockerel is Henny (rather ironic, right? ). Though there are no obvious signs for concern at the moment, I'd keep an eye on Dixie. Reddish, uneven coloration on Easter Eggers often gets me a little worried.
