Bought hens but I think it’s a roo?

[Lovelyglinda]

First time chicken owner, here. I purchased 2 female EE from a hatchery. Well… they look a little funny to me. Am I crazy or are they roosters?! Help!

Pictures would help.

Hello and Welcome to BYC! Pictures will help greatly.

 

[Lovelyglinda]

Ha! I was trying to figure out how to do that! Here you go… they are about 14 weeks old.

Wattles say roo on the second photo but I can't see enough to be anywhere near sure on the first one. We really need to see more of the head.

Uh, yeah, there are people much better than me here (and they’ll chime in soon), but those two are definitely suspect to me.

Both pictures show definite cockerels. First bird is severely crossbeaked

 

[SilverBirds]

Both are 100% cockerels.

Agreed

Thank you! That’s what I thought… not sure if I want a rooster…! Here is another couple pics of the crossbeak one. It’s about 11 weeks in these pics…
