Are my Buckeyes roos?

[Maverick061106]

I'm beginning to suspect that of the 5 Buckeyes we have, 4 of them may be roosters...

Please, someone tell me I'm wrong!

The thing throwing me off the most is the difference in thier comb sizes and leg thicknesses (when they are all the same age)...

The one I am certain is a hen has NO green on her at all and NO long saddle or neck feathers.

If they are 4 roos, what do I do with them? I have no problem putting them in the oven, but this is considered an "endangered" breed and I don't know if there's something better I could do with them (sell them or give to breeders?)?

Also, they are 4+ months old, we DO have a rooster elsewhere on the property that crows, but NONE of the Buckeyes have crowed yet and they aren't laying yet, either...

I see 4 roosters.

I agree, I see shiny saddle feathers on 4.

I just had to get rid of my buckeye because he was a roo, and yup, he looked just like these guys.
