Are these Delawares, or mixed?

6 of my chickens were purchased from a local farmer. He said they were pure Delaware’s. Do you agree?

Yes, they're Delaware's, how old? A couple look like roosters depending on age

Agree with @OkieChickenGal they are Delewares, but I too am curious about their age.

Look pure to me. Looking good so far. They should mature into quite nice birds.

 

[Crazy for Chickens!]

Delewares.

What's their age? They look kind of like cockerels.

They are 9 weeks approximately. I know some are cockerels since I have heard at least 2 strangled “crows” at dawn in the last 2 weeks. Can a flock of chickens (22 total) support more than one rooster? Or will they start fighting?

The ones with barred (striped) tail feathers are male. Females' tail feathers will be virtually all black with a bit of white lacing around the edges.

PirateGirl , here are the latest photos. I believe 5 are roosters and only one is a hen. They are 11 weeks old now. The roosters seem to have white tails speckled with black and red combs. The female has no comb and a white tail with black bars. See photos. Opinions please?
