I took the boys to the auction yesterday, including the white one on the lower perch in the pic above. This morning, the white one on the upper perch was crowing.

He was waiting for the other boys to leave.

Figures, right?!
Couldn't tell from the pictures, but any with pointy hackle feathers are cockerels. Sometimes late developing males will show that feature, while their combs are still 'ambivalent'.

What a turd!

What a turd!

So true! Unless I just didn't catch him in the act. I'm toying with the idea of keeping him.
My neighbor heard him, but she has her windows open and she was already awake (only about 40ft from him to her window). She pointed out that he isn't very loud. And so far he only crows a couple of times a day. I have a wood privacy fence around the chicken yard.

Most of the neighbors are chill, except that one that likes to make false claims to code enforcement on everyone when she is upset about something. She started asking around the last time I tried to keep a rooster, so I took him to the auction.
I guess it'll depend on how much louder he gets as he ages!
Hopefully the other 6 don't have any surprises for me

So, after announcing his male-ness Sunday, "Prince" hasn't crowded again. At least I haven't heard him. Maybe he will be a nice, quiet protector, lol.
I can hope, right?

Hello all! The promised update to @Overo Mare and @FunClucks:

Only one male out of the seven. The white one on the lower roost, Prince.
Two are not pictured, because they are Delawares and their gender was obvious.
Thanks for your help!

So... Prince did go to auction a few weeks ago and I was pleased with my take of the sale.

And a surprise! My "barred rock" mix lays a green egg. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't caught her in the act. The other two eggs are from Delawares.
