Could someone help Identify if these are roosters or not. And what breed some of them are. I keep second guessing and it's driving me crazy lol. All of them are roughly 4-6 months old. Thank you for the help in advance


I'm certain the Easter egger on the right is a rooster and the plymouth rock on the left too. It's small size and fluffy head are throwing me off

Not sure if the breed of this one but I'm fairly certain it's a rooster

I'm certain this one is a pullet

They all appear to be Easter Egger or Olive Egger mixes with the combination of beards and crests. The bird with the crest in the first picture probably has a Cream Legbar parent. Now for the bad news. They're all cockerels. The uneven/splotchy coloring on them, especially on the shoulders is one sign. The male saddle and hackle feathers are just starting to come in and should be prominent in a few weeks.

Thanks for the info. Just curious why the last one that appeared to me was a barred rock is a Cockerel. The only thing I seen that made me question it was the hackle feathers.
 
I'm curious why the last bird is a Cockerel I was thinking the pattern and colors were pullet specfic
Pointy feathers around neck, prominent red comb, and thick legs are all signs of roo, and he's showing all of them.

It appears to me the "adult" hackle feathers are just starting to grow in and they look pointier to me. Also, on the shoulder, back, and neck where the male feathers are coming in they are a much brighter white color. It also seems to have more of an upright stance.

This bird has a pea comb and a beard/muffs. Barred rocks have a single comb and clean faces.

Gotcha I'm still holding out on it with my fingers crossed it's a pullet lol.
