Bertus is obvious, I'm afraid Cleopatra might actually be Caesar.... but the rest???
They're 9 weeks old today. All have the same Rhode island red daddy, but different momma's!

I’d say all are pullets except the two in the first picture ☺️
The white one definitely a roo, the other one in that first picture is an unrelated ,small, mature laying hen who snuck into the picture.. But yay! Hope you're right,because we can really only keep 1 roo and they're all so darn cute.

Oh haha. See I’m no good at birds once they’re mature because I can only judge based off of combs and wattles at this point, still learning how to identify by feathers/coloring!
 
Thanks everyone.
That's friggin unbelievable. I gave my broody hen 6 eggs from a farm nearby that has a rooster. All 6 were fertilized, all 6 hatched (on day 18....) and to have so many hens. That's amazing.
When I gave her the eggs, I figured 2 not fertile, 1 or 2 not making it and at least half roos, so I figured I'd be extremely lucky if I got 2 hens out of it.
