Can someone help me to see the gender of my rescue chicken?

Take them to a farm.
They are meat birds, and won’t survive in a cage.
They, if they are to live, need to run around, with proper chicken feed and grass..
Meat birds are bred to only live to 6 weeks old.
They will become so grossly massive that their heart and bones will give out.
If they are allowed to free range on grass, this can be stopped.
Keeping them in a small cage just condemns them further.
Plus, they are roosters.

Apparently they're 6 months old already?

If they are not laying why do you feed them oyster shell?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I’m feeding them chopped oyster shell and chopped shrimp shell as my grandmother said it counts as calcium intake. She might be wrong as it’s been a long time since she had chicken.

Calcium intake is good but not necessary for chickens that aren't laying.

It does, but why do they need calcium if they aren't laying?

But they are not laying eggs, so they don’t need calcium.
See my above post for the dangers of having them in a cage their whole lives.

Cut off the oyster shell, they don’t need it unless they’re laying eggs. Actually don’t give them all that stuff at all, that stuff is a treat. You NEED to get them chick food they won’t grow and can die if you don’t get that.

Thank you so much for the reply.
I’ll change their diet according to your suggestions.
Thanks again for your help.

Why do they need seeds? A balanced all flock feed is good from what I've heard.

Well they don't really NEED seeds but it's good for them. I mix seeds in with my chicken food and I believe it makes them healthier. I believe it gives them nutrients that they don't necessarily need but that makes them healthier and sometimes happier. I think it makes up for the fact that they can't always free range.

Thank you @DogAndCat36 and @TheOddOneOut ! Raising them in an apartment will take a lot more effort than it will to raise them outside. Sorry if this is harsh, but based on your responses, it does not sound like you (or your parents, seems some things are conflicting) are fit to raise them. Chickens are farm animals, not pets.

If they live long enough, will you be able to deal with the crowing?
They are roosters.
