I need advice and help determining sex! I believe we ended up with 3, possibly 4, Golden Laced Wyandotte Cockrells. If I am right about them being Cockrells then we need to find 2 or 3 of them a good home as soon as possible. They were born April 4th so that makes them about 6 1/2 weeks old and I'm not sure if that's too young to tell the sex or not. We already have a Buff Orpingtom Cockrell that we would like to keep and we would like to keep one Wyandotte male. We have a total of 22 females. Would 2 roosters be OK with 22 hens? What's a good ratio? Pictures of possible Cockrells below. #4 I am totally unsure of. TIA

Number four does appear to be the only girl.

A ratio of 3-10 hens per rooster is advised. With larger flocks, you can push about 3, maybe even 4 roosters for 22 hens. It really depends on how well behaved the roosters are and how much run space you have.
