Repost: Need help.. Hens or Roos?

[Minnie417]

Hi! We have four new chicks who just turned 8 weeks old yesterday. 1 Barred rock, 1 black australorp and 2 Easter eggers. Easter eggers are new to us but chose them after reading about being a friendly breed ...well those two are the least friendly right now and most skittish. Attached are photos numbered. Hoping to get confirmation about all being hens. I am questioning one of the easter eggers but have never had a roo to know.. I can get better photos and angles if needed.

1. Minnie
2. Chickaletta
3. Sugar
4. Spice

Picture 1 looks like a cockerel, the rest are pullets.

Barred Rock looks male, rest pullets.

Thinking all pullets

The BR looks like it might be a boy. The rest are girls.

Agree. BR is a cockerel, all others pullets.

1. Barred Rock Definitely a boy the rest are girls. The Easter Eggers are a very sweet breed but like dogs it also depends on their previous owners, and whether or not they were handled a lot when they were little.

Lol easter eggers can either be super terrified and will scream if you hold them of you or they can be a literal dog. Hopefully yours become friendly. I have both terrified and dog like easter eggers.
