The darkest one is a cockerel. Do you see those really shiny, pointy feathers coming in on the back? Those are the male saddle feathers. The bird towards the middle also has very obvious male saddle feathers. Take a close look at the back feathers of the rest of them.
What about this one. I may have some upset kids as I only know we have 3 hens out of 8. The one above was bought as a pullet. Thanks for your help
It's really hard to get a good photo of saddle feathers on a white bird. I suggest you take a close look at the feathers on the backs of both birds. Pullets have broad, rounded feathers. Males, by 4 months old, should have some pointed, narrow back feathers.
Need a picture that shows the bird from the side. From what I'm seeing in this picture, it's a pullet.
