Oh shoot...so you think all of the chicks I uploaded pictures of are Roosters?
I bought them from a local 4H chapter. They hatch eggs and “rent” the baby chicks to local elementary schools for a few weeks and when they get the child back...they sell them off. They have an exchange policy...but geez. I’ve already bonded with them.

Sorry, but yes, it's really looking that way.
And that is the hardest part. You get attached.

Hello, and welcome! Glad that you joined! It look's like you must have ended up with all of the boy's that the other's didn't want. If you are going to keep that many cockerel's, you will need a whole bunch of pullet's.

It appears you have a full flock of cocks

Welcome to BYC. It appears that you have a barred rock cockerel, a black cochin cockerel, a red cochin cockerel, a blue EE or Ameraucana cockerel, a black silky cockerel, and a production red cockerel. I hope that I am incorrect.

How can you tell so easily? I’ve looked them all up online and I can’t tell the difference to save me. What should I be looking for? Thanks so much for your help!

The lady I bought them from said the breeds are as follows:
Cuckoo Maran
Blue Americana
Bantam Cochin
Polish fleur d'uccle
Mille fleur d’uccle

Because their combs are large and quite red for only being 6 weeks old.
