Are all of my Barred Rock babies roo's?!?!

[WhattheHill]

Okay, so I got 5 straight run barred rocks. I didn't pick them and figured it would be fine if I got a few roo's. Well, a few is two and I'm thinking I have 4 and only one hen These guys are my favorite amongst the EE'S and leghorn hens. They are 6 weeks old. I'm getting another 10 hens in June but I still only need two roosters. What do you think? They all have very developed comb and waddles - all of them similar barring.

I think i see all cockerals.

As to why, there's been a frantic purchasing of pullet chicks that's just now slacking, females are sold out so straight runs are less likely to have 50/50 male-female.

Well that makes complete sense. It's a little disheartening bc I really enjoy them so much. Lesson learned. I have 10 more hens coming and then I have 15 copper maran eggs incubating. I'll likely just end up keeping one of these guys then.

I'd wait to see how many you hatch out

So all of them are in the pictures? If so then yes all roosters. Have you thought about having a bachelor flock?

All are cockerels, sorry.

all are males! all except one males that I have come across are very friendly and love hanging out with humans, so I would've started an all males flock but I also wanted to hatch out my eggs. please consider keeping them if they are friendly.

So they are now 9 weeks old. I can't keep them all Maybe 1. As of right now I only have 11 hens and what's looksling like 8 Roo's. I hatched olive Eggers and BCM and ended up with another 3.
