Chickens not in their coop

Are you sure there all cockerels? Looks like you have different breeds in there.
Please ignore the yoghurt face, but I’m pretty sure on the genders, but always hope I’m wrong

I differ on the light inside, as a deterrent by #5 poster. I also don't think red light is the answer. I would put a small white light myself. :idunno
Your coop is small, but it is what you have, so no criticism from me.
I do have a possible solution for you to try. If you could elevate the coop lets say one meter or less, and temporarily, Use an old table possibly. A few chairs would also work.
Chickens do like to seek higher places to enter and roost. Maybe the elevated coop would look desirable to your roos.
Sorry you got hoodwinked into those roos, and you wanted some hens for eggs.:hugs
If this method works, then you can lower coop to maybe 30 cm, on some milk crates. This would also give the chickens added scratching around space inside run.
I did raise its little after the picture I posted but only about 4/5 inches
 
Can you tell us there breed?

Ok your definitely correct. Will you keep them?
Top and bottom are marans and middle is Wyandotte, my little one in-house is also a boy so I’m going to try and keep these guys together if they are not too noisy and build a new enclosure for my little soon to be huge guy
