Its a rooster, you can see the pointed saddle feathers in the first pic

All roos. The dark ones are developing the red wing patches for impressing the laaaaydies, and the white one is developing hackle feathers.

Bugger, oh well , I was certain they were roosters but wanted confirmation, thank you all for your input, I'll send them to my mates chicken farm , and get some hens this time hopefully

check thier feathers before you get some more. In almost all breeds, the roosters have pointed hackle(neck) and saddle(back) feathers. They start coming in around 3 months, if you dont see any, spread the feathers apart to see if any are coming in.
