Well, now I'm worried...roosters all around?

We brought home 9 chicks almost a month ago - we ordered 6 barred rock originally, but the co-op gave us 9. We were told 8 girls, one boy - no biggie on our part. The coloring/patterns seemed right for those numbers. One is developing a red comb so we figured, yep, that's him. No one is has the pink/red so we thought were good. I posted some pictures for family today as I had them out of their pen to clean and now they have me doubting if we do in fact have 8 girls... any thoughts?

Be patient. In two more weeks you'll know for sure which are cockerels. They'll be the ones with red combs and little red wattles emerging from their chins.

I'm trying to be! We'll just need to rehome any more than one rooster (rules in our area) so I wanted to be prepared and start looking for an owner sooner rather than later if needed.

None scream cockerel to me yet, except for this one. I agree, wait a few more weeks. Cute chicks!

that one looks like a cockerel, the others look like hens for now. They don't have the clear crisp barring that roosters/cockerels do like the one that looks like a cockerel does.
