I have three 11 week old chicks which were hatched by a broody hen. Can anyone tell me their sex?


 
Aw bless them. If they are all boys, what age would they need to be seperated. They all seem to get on fine right now, they huddle etc but every now and again two of them seem to have a bit of a stand off. Thank you for your answers.....
 
Three years ago my broody hen hatched eggs.....3 were boys. To this day I have them in a seperate coop and run together. I never seperated them. They did the pecking order early and they get along fine. .
 
I agree with all of the above... all boys....
I hatched 6 boys - 2 were placed in the same pen with girls (20 weeks old now and not fighting)
The other 4 were placed in a "table roo" pen. One of the brothers in that pen got picked on so much I moved him to the grow out pen. (a group of younger chickens and turkys)
Just keep and eye on them... make decisions as you go... they may be great buddies or mortal enemies. (just like human brothers)

Good luck.
Patricia
