Agree with above, they are leghorns and at that age (14 weeks) they’re All looking like cockerels, I’m afraid.

This community is great! So helpful. I made the post with no hope. I didn't know so many nice people will come forward to help. I came here to know what to do with these "roosters" but according to the experts here, these assumed roosters may not be roosters after all! Tomorrow I should be able to post the individual pictures of those chickens here for more clarity.@Brahmachicken240 maybe you can help?? They do look like pullets I agree with that. Oh and welcome to BYC!Hope everything is going to turn out all right!

so you're thinking they may be this kind of broiler .. yep need picsHi yes. no problem. They are currently in India, specifically in North India where according to their standards it is pretty cold lol. In her town the temp fluctuates between 40-75 these days. Over there in rural areas people keep chickens for eggs and meat but they are of some different breed. Usually people call them "desi" means "local". I found a link here which describes the different breeds over there and looking at the pictures in this link I can say that that's what I have seen in person there too when I used to live there. http://vikaspedia.in/agriculture/poultry/backyard-poultry/breeds-availability
Ha I did a search 2 India threads with 1 and 5 postsIt's so hard to say when you don't have a specific breed. They could even be mixes.
Sometimes its hard to say when you do have a breed! LOL
I know there are state threads...maybe look for a local Indian thread. You could always post there and get a more local opinion.
Hi thanks for going through that website. Please see my post before this (posted 2 old pics). I think mine look very similar to the pics you posted.so you're thinking they may be this kind of broiler .. yep need pics
