My wife and I are in need of some cash so we are hoping to sell our black australorp cockerels. Do you think any of these are DEFINITELY cockerels? I'm sorry the pics are out of order :( It's just how they uploaded and I'm not sure how to change it on my phone.

8 and 9 definitely and maybe 1 too
 
#5 doesn't look like a BA.
Also, where did you get the chicks? Unless they're really good show quality birds (and really, even then) you're not going to bring in hardly any money from them. You'll be lucky if any one even buys them. I have to give my birds away for free here (and my birds are good quality) because no one wants extra cockerels, except for maybe for the soup pot. And yours still have a lot of growing to do, not many people will want to pay to feed them until harvest age.
It all depends on where you live of course, but I'd be surprised if you could get $5 a piece, max. #5, #8, and #9 are the only definite cockerels I see.

Hmm maybe we will hold off on number 1, then. Number 5 was sold to us as a BA so we arent totally sure what it is. And we live in the Philippines where this is an exotic bird, so we should be able to sell the cockerels to people who want to breed mixes maybe.

I think 1 is probably a boy too, but I didn't mention that one because his pics aren't as good (glaring a little). The reddish colored leakage in the face looks pretty odd to me. You should maybe sell #1 instead of #5, I kinda want to see how he turns out.
Oh, ok. Yes, I'm not familiar with the Philippines. I just assumed you were in the US. Sorry for that. Good luck, you may very well have a better market for them there.
