Hi Gray, just wondering why you pegged the last bird (the second EE) as a cockerel?

RIR is for sure a cockerel and both EE probably are as well, but I am not as sure on those as their feather colors are more common for female EE. I would wait a little longer on those just in case.

Age combined with comb redness and development. At 9 weeks and that much comb growth they are almost certainly cockerels. The RIRs for certain. Also with the EE the darker red coming in on the wing bars is a male specific trait.
