Hello everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post so I hope I'm doing everything correctly!
I bought three chickens to add to my flock of five 10 weeks ago - all supposedly female. This week I've come to the conclusion they're probably all-male. Opinions welcome!
The two almost identical white ones are Amber Stars and the little speckled one is a Silver Spangled Hamburg. Many thanks.

Sorry I forgot to say, the Hamburg is 24 weeks old and the Ambers are 20 weeks old. Thanks again.
 
Ok thanks very much for your replies.
The Silver Spangled Hamburg has a potential home already with a friend. The Amber boys I shall have a very hard time seperating or rehoming as we are so fond of them and they're so friendly and inseparable...!
Can someone please tell me how long I have before they potentially start fighting (if is it not a given)?
I have four hens but wondering if I get a few more and if one of the boys can take a beta role that I can keep both??
The petting farm we bought them from won't take them back, unless we want them to be feed for the local wildlife centre. I couldn't bear that as they're such lovely chickens. :-/
But don't want to be naive about any inevitable changes in their behaviour!
