Hen or rooster?

[Chickadee8]

Would anyone like to make their best guess on who's a boy or girl? I know they are still young, but the combs on some of them have me wondering. The 2 BA are 5 weeks, the rest are 4. The one with the white head was sold to me as a leghorn but I'm thinking it may be something else or at least mixed with something else with the pattern coming in on it...thoughts? The brown one is an Easter egger.

This is what the white one looked like as a baby. It grew and feathered faster than the rest.

Aside from the little NN who is too young to sex and one of the blacks, you have 3 cockerels.

That's what I was worried about. Thanks. The NN is actually the same age...is it odd for it to be so far behind the others?

Yes, even if it was a bantam NN it's still unusually small for its age. Most be a runt or failure to thrive. Not much you can do in either case except maybe offer a vitamin supplement and keep an eye on it. Aside from being small, does it act normal?

It chirps more than the others, and can't jump up on hardly anything. It's the easiest one to catch, like it doesn't mind being picked up. I haven't noticed any bullying towards it, though. And it eats and drinks, and kind of follows the others around.
