Welcome to the site!!!!! I hate to say it, but I agree, although there is still hope for them!!

Butter is your only girl. Sorry.

at 8 weeks old, I'd keep an eye on butter also. That's awful red for an eight week old possible EE. I've got a white EE that was that red around 8 weeks and he's a he.

here's my EE/AM rooster at 9-10 weeks.

Butter is the only potential girl, and you'll just have to watch her, I agree that comb is pretty red for the age.

Thank you all very much for your speedy replies! I'll take a better photo of Butter's head tomorrow and post it. "She" looks a lot like Featherz' rooster. I think they are all roosters! Which leaves us with 3 hens. Guess we are shopping for sexed chicks once we find homes for our "boys". Quite sad as we started with them at just 3 days old, we have handled them many times daily and we love all their different personalities. They would have been a great flock of pals. Ah, well. sigh.

My white rooster took forever to actually look like a rooster. All he had was the red comb. A better shot of the comb would definitely help! I'd keep em until about 12-13 weeks when the saddle feathers will start to show up then you'll know for sure. A pic of the comb would help - I am suspicious of any red at that early age.

Here's what my white guy looks like now, only about 6 or 7 weeks later:

Featherz, your white rooster is very handsome! Here are 2 more photos of Butter. I imagine it will take a while
to find good homes for our "guys" so there will be time for all of them to show their true colours! I wouldn't want
to give away any hens!!
