Pullets. You often have to look aside from the hanging tail feathers unless they are pointed. The more reliable things to look at is the fast comb and waddle growth, pointed hackle development, overall upright body shape, and thick legs of a cockerel.
 
That is great news! I lost two roosters in a racoon attack and bought 4 Americanas that were in a straight run.

After buying the straight run 4, a Australorp and buff Orpington revealed that they were in fact roosters and I started to get worried about having too many.
 
We got some pullets about 3 months ago, but the tail feather are suspicious to me.
So I do have a few pictures of my straight run Americanas... I got them June 4th. Any idea if I got a male or two?

I added a picture or two of the barred rock I got from a pullet bin, but I have some suspicions there too.

This picture is a hint better at capturing its comb.

First picture is the only suspicious one. Only cockerel that I see.
