Needing the expert opinions on these five of mine that I'm suspecting are cockerels. One has just begun to puff up it's hackels and play fight with the others...and I was sure before it was a pullet. :( I'm afraid of my original 8 that 5 of them are boys! Please let me know what you think!









The 4 pictures above I'll call #1 is the one just now showing some play fight tendencies.








#2 Four pics of one of my black and white's that I'm pretty sure is a boy since the comb is getting bigger and pink.






#3 Three pictures of my other black one who loves to play fight!




#4 Is my big gray(blue?) one that is the sweetest of the bunch!







#5 Three pictures of the one I've guessed was a boy since a couple weeks old. Comb definitely turning pink with 3 ridges.

Please let me know what you think as I'd love to find new homes for 4 of them before they are too much older. I sure don't need that much maleness with 3 girls left!

I was hoping with the pea combs with 3 rows and some of them turning red, maybe it was easier to tell. I'd read on other threads that those were pretty sure signs of cockerels. Darn...
