Pullets or roos?

[Mamabear1227]

I have 5 New Hampshire Red's that are about 5 weeks old and I'm seeing some differences... but given everything I've read so far I'm not totally convinced one way or another on the sex of them... I'm leaning towards #4 being a roo and possibly #2. I'd love to hear what you all think!

4 is the only cockerel I can see at the moment. Could you get a better photo of 2?

I agree with you on #4. I’m not totally sure about #2

i think you have 2 hen #1 and #3 and the rest are roosters #4 is a rooster and#5 and #2 I'm not 100% sure.

#4 definitely is, #2 probably is but I'd say it's a maybe. The rest look like pullets.

2, and 4 are your cockerels.
