We have chickens for the very first time 😁 Four Easter Eggers. I have tried to figure out if they all hens or not but there is SO much info I just run in circles and convince my self they are all either hens or roos on any given day.
oh! We also got them 2 1/2 weeks ago from the local feed/hardware store who had had them for about 2 weeks at that point themselves. I’m guessing they are about 5 weeks old???

At this point in time no flagrant 'cockerel signs', but they are still young.
Here are some more pics now that they are about 7 weeks old.

On Easter Eggers colored similiar to yours, by seven weeks of age cockerels will usually begin to show blotchy/splotchy red patches on their wings. That irregular colored feathered pattern is almost always my first clue as to which chicks are cockerels.

Your pullet's colors are very evenly patterned, so rest easy they will be laying beautiful blue/,green eggs a few months from now!
