Sorry they all turned out to be cockerels. I've heard of folks keeping them in a bachelor pad - as long as no females are around, they can get along peacefully.
I want to thank everyone for all the advice. You all have been great. The roos are crowing even more today. So sad to say I have put them up for free on Craigslist. I'm hoping they will go to a good home. And I must say we will never buy from a straight run again. We would rather pay the extra money to have them sexed and shipped then go through loving them and loosing them.
Hugs to you all
Those are cockerels, I do not see any RIRs, hens can crow but that usually only happens once they get extremely old and stop laying. I think a hormone imbalance is what causes hens to crow, it can also cause hens to grow rooster feathers.
A female chicken under one year is a Pullet
A male chicken under one year is a Cockerel
A female chicken over one year is a Hen
A male chicken over one year is a Rooster
Female chickens are either Hens or Pullets, not "chickens"
Both female and male chickens are Chickens. All of the birds in these pictures are chickens.
Enjoy the chickens!
You should probably try to sell them or give them away.
