Absolutly love chickens, but am a bit concerned...

[wbarley]

I have been raising 5 chicks with my 7 and 5 year old daughters for close to 3 months now and prior to that built a very fun chicken coop, but now that my chickens are older I am concerned that two of the 5 might be roosters. They are both bigger and look different then their sisters. All are very friendly, but I don't think my neighborhood will allow roosters.

Can anyone please take a look at the photo's below and tell me whether or not these two are males?

Both are cockerels (roosters under a year).

Sorry.

from California, they both look like cockerels to me. Try posting here for more opinions: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

Yep both are roosters. I've had males in both breeds before. Welcome to BYC by the way!

Greetings from Kansas and

Hello and welcome from Ohio....so glad you joined BYC. Hope you can find good homes for those pretty boys

Wow, thanks for all the feedback. At least now I know. I will find them a good home. The question is where can I get 3 month old female replacements? My "flock" will be cut in half. Btw - love the sight. I am raising chickens in San Diego and I am loving it outside of this issue.
