Hi, I suspect I already know but looking for reassurance before I rehome or otherwise as cannot keep roos. All 6 weeks in photos

Hens or roos please - I think 4 roos and 1 maybe pullet


My guesses
Buff sussex - roo (guessed by day 2!)
mauve orpington - roo
Splash mauve orpington (blk/white face) - pullet? *edit-actually a mauve mottled orpington
Australorp - roo
Blue maran (not copper) - roo 20230912_152956.jpg buff sussex 20230912_153003.jpg blue maran 20230912_153007.jpg mauve orp/buff sussex 20230912_153021.jpg blu maran/splsh orp/australorp 20230912_153029.jpg buff sussex/blue maran/splsh orp/australorp 20230912_153037.jpg blue maran 20230912_153053.jpg mauve orp 20230912_153102.jpg splsh 20230912_153112.jpg splsh 20230912_153247.jpg splsh orp
 
I see what your saying, I've not gotten too much experience these exact breeds but going off your descriptions and comb development, all but 1 look like Cockerels to me and the 1 that could be a Pullet is still concerning as well. Hopefully some better experts can confirm or deny for you. Sorry you got so many boys.

Thanks for looking! Totally gutted :(
 
The splash could be a pullet. Too soon to say for sure. I also wouldn't let go of the mauve Orpington just yet. Its comb isn't as large as the combs of the obvious boys. So just in case, I would give it a while longer,
