Trying to figure out how many roos I have! I know for sure we have 1 (Silver Laced Wyandottes). Any help. There are 9 birds (don't know if I got all of them).

Wyandottes are difficult to sex. The rose combs are trickier than a single comb. I see a few suspected boys, but nothing definitive. Pullet's combs will also pink up early and they do also develop wattles early. Males usually have less clear lacing than the females. I agree they should be posted individually. I have seen on BYC, many folks with wyandottes end up having the opposite gender than what they thought they had. Often you can not really tell until the famous saddle feathers come in somewhere between 8-14 weeks.
You have some nice birds.😊
 
The last 2 are of the same bird. I think he is a roo. He is the largest of the birds. These are the ones I'm more interested in. There are a few that I'm fairly sure are pullets.
