Hi, I’m new to this site and new to keeping chickens. My birds are about 13 weeks old and they were advertised as pullets. 2 Buffs, a Wyandot and 3 Barred Rocks. As I was heading out to the coop this morning I heard a weak cock-a-doodle-do and I’m pretty sure I know which one is the culprit. I suspect the Buff with the bigger waddle. But, for good measure I was hoping some more seasoned folks would weigh in. Turned out to be challenging to get a decent profile pic. Any thoughts here are greatly appreciated!!

Guessing that 'red headed' one has been redder for more than a few weeks?
The breeds you have are pretty easy to tell but 6-8 weeks by the redder comb and wattles.

Yes indeed. I guess I was hoping this was a hen that was maturing faster
