Barred Rock, pullets or rooster?

[GermanGirl-inTexas]

I got my first chickens ever in June 01. and I’m very worried they are all roosters
I love them so much and it would break my heart if I have to give them away
I can have pullets where I live but no rooster.
So, what do you think? Do I have pullets or roosters?

So they are all about 8 weeks old? All males

How old were they when you got them? All cockerels, stew pot special.

Oh no

 

[cherrynberry]

Oh no

Im sorry! If you got them from a hatchery, they tend to guarentee a 90% accurate sex. Otherwise, I recommend getting a sexlink or autosexing breed.

I think they were about a week old when I got them.

Gosh, what a bummer. I agree they are cockerels. Their combs and wattles are too large and red for 8 weeks old pullets. I'm so sorry.

 

[EmmaRainboe]

Cockerels.

Where did you get them?

I'm sorry, they're all cockerels. Hopefully just an unlucky straight run batch rather than someone passing off sexed cockerels
