Boys or girls- Rhode Island Reds

[mikarod]

Sorry...

ALL boys.

The third one might be a girl. Other than that I'd say the others are all boys.

Thanks so much, friends!
Can you tell the ages, by any chance? Would the girls be old enough to be laying or are they still pullets?
I have had them just about 5 weeks, bought an a small animal auction.
They are healthy and happy, but I don't wanna keep boys through the winter, and the girls haven't laid a single egg for me...so not sure if it's the weather or what- although we've had a great fall.

THANK YOU for any input/ advice
Hugs

Are those the only birds you have? Because...All of those have the skinny/ pointed feathers of males. (You might need to get some pre-sexed chicks.)

They are pretty! By the looks of it...approx. 5 months old, maybe 4. I'd go with 5 months though.

I have like 75 birds at the moment. I started this venture in August. We moved to a farm last summer and it was the "right" time to add livestock.

So, I have 8 RIR's. I just took some random pics this a.m. b/c it was like 20F and it was windy COLD!

They DO have beautiful shiny feathers. I purchased them at a small animal auction the first week of October.

I have Buff Orpingtons - 4 hens and 1 Roo. I also have a huge Buff Cochin Roo (I couldn't resist him, he's soooo beautiful). I also have 3 Pullets and a cocketrel that I will cull when he gets a bit larger.

The rest of the birds, 24 white rocks that I plan to get eggs from come spring (They are only like 7 weeks old), and about 30 meat birds that I will butcher just before Christmas.

Thank you for asking!!
Have a great day

PS- It's okay if they are roo's, I just need to know which ones will become Christmas presents...

I've never had them, but my grandfather did. They all look male to me. Sorry!
