HELP……. I think they are boys

White birds are probably mixed breed pullets. The black one is a mixed rooster.

I agree.

...and here in rainy Oregon, I have NO "white" birds, let alone the watermelon stains.
Actually, amazingly, they keep whiter than I thought they would.

I'm so with you on that! I was trying to figure out when one of my gold/white EE hens got such dark feathers on her shoulders....finally realized it was from the rooster's muddy feet

Well I bought 15 chickens and got 16……5 of them were female because I picked them out to be, the other ones were straight runs. Out of the 11 straight run birds I only got 2 roosters

!!! WOW! I had the white one pegged as roos…….

Well….they were 17 weeks and they ended up being roos! They just started crowing. They started becoming more and more aggressive to the other chickens, so they went to freezer camp today along with another roo. I still have one roo left and needless to say, he REALLY calmed down today!
