Hi I Have 8 14 week old chickens and are wondering what gender they are. 4 of them have already crowded so I know those are roosters. This is one of the roosters he is the prettiest one of you ask me🤣

But the next 3 chickens haven’t crowed or anything and is showing no signs of being a roosters I know I only uploaded 2 pictures but that’s because I have 2 black copper marans who look identical so the last picture is how both of the marans look

Now for the last chickens, I have heard that it was a rooster and a pullet so I really don’t know, it acts like a pullet and hasn’t crowded or tried to jump the other chickens but I really don’t know

Excuse the background it has been raining all day and the pheasants have tipped over their water and food
 
#2 and 3 are definitely pullets. #4 and 5, I'm not so sure, but normally roosters have bigger combs and wattles at that point, and you should be seeing long hackle and saddle feathers by now. Can you get a shot of their tails? I am guessing they are pullets that have matured faster. Do you see any coloring like this on their bodies? This is a FBCM rooster at about 10 weeks.

He almost looks like he has a pea comb. Where did he come from? Usually FBCMs have a single. Interesting....

Super pretty already, though.

He was actually A surprise egg, so I really don’t know anything about breed😊 but I got 4 surprise eggs and they all look completely different even though they supposedly come from the same hens but I don’t know about that🤣
