Good morning.
I hatch chicks with my students yearly, this year was a little different as I did it at home virtually. We decided to keep them this year. I hatched 13 eggs and I think 11 of them are roosters. We gave away some but is there a way to tell at 12 weeks? One did crow and I know it's a rooster as it has saddle feathers and all characteristics of a rooster. We are a first time chicken owners. We also have a variety of breeds so we don't know what any of them are except the roo we think is an EasterEgger.
Thank you for any help!

Thank you. The 5th one down, Oreo, I saw crow so I figure it's the rooster. We don't even know types. If other pictures would be better what specific angle? Thanks for the help!!

12 weeks? You have a lot of pullets! The only cockerel I see pictured is the 5th one, Oreo, which you already figured out. The rest are all female. Males are usually very obvious at this age, crowing, red comb and wattles, male specific colour and feathering growing in. They all appear to be mixes.

x2!
Oreo is the only cockerel.
