Help me spot any cockerels PLEASE

How old was your EE cockerel in this pic? See at 7.5 weeks old, none have that comb. They're inexistent lol.

Take side view pics of those you think have rust colored shoulders but I doubt it. The rust color is indicative of cockerels but it's very flashy and obvious. Think splotchy coloring. All yours have a gradual color change from the head to the tail. Very even patterns. Let me see if I can find the picture of my EE cockerel when he was young as an example.

I posted some more pics but no side pics of the 2 suspect chicks. I'll do those tomorrow when the adult hens are not in my way lol.

Those are still female patterned. Rust for rooster wings is darker and the overall pattern on the body wouldn't be so even.

I just can't believe it. The past 7 weeks we've been planning on a bachelor pad convinced that we got at least a couple roos. Since it was just a Coastal F&R store purchase straight run. There were about 30 chicks in that bin. We randomly picked the 10 I'm lost for words lol.

Very possible they were sexed pullets and mislabeled straight run, or... you're very lucky!

The attendant at the store (in charge of chicks and feed) said they are straight run. 100% not sexed she said. Idk if any Coastal farm and ranch store do sexed chicks but my store doesn't lol. They only sell straight run.

There's just NO way lmao. Omg they all can't fit in the current coop. They would have had I gotten some roosters. Here's to building an impromptu 2nd coop

Hi, I just got a chance to take pics of the "suspects". There are 3 of them so far with some "rust" on them. Please let me know what you think thank you

Some have reddish brown evenly spaced on the wings but I don't see obvious rust patches so yes get closer photos of the specific birds you're wondering about.
