3 months/ new to raising chicks not sure of breeds or all the genders...if you have a minute please

It's OK. I would rather know then find out much later. Thanks.
 
If you're concerned about crowing, a lady made rooster callers than seem to work well, she's on Facebook and BYC. There will most likely be fighting since there are so many roosters and not enough hens for each roo. If you don't plan to eat them and want to keep them, you could caponize some of them. There may be a vet in your area that could do the procedure or you could do it. I think other vets are much cheaper but the only vet near me charges almost $1000 for neutering! It's not like they're gonna make my rooster lay eggs!
 
Some of them I can tell....I think and I do know one is a turken and one is a cornish x...some of the pictures are the same chicken but maybe a little clearer. Thanks! Rhode Island Red rooster

I think I got it now. Thanks so much for everyone's help. Now I just have to get to the egg laying process.
 
I have no issue eating them. We are planning on thinning them out this week.

Cornish Cross, probably cockerel.

Most likely a Barred Rock pullet, but could also possibly be a Cuckoo Marans.

Better photo would help; looks like a Delaware cockerel.

Silver Spangled Hamburg, probably cockerel based on comb development.

Pullet, not sure on breed. Possibly a really light Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire, or Red Sex-link.

Most likely an Australorp, going with cockerel.

Both are Rhode Island Red cockerels.

Is its neck bare? If so, then Red Turken/Naked Neck.

I think both are cockerels, one is a Barred Rock and the other is a RIR or New Hampshire.
