Cockerels?? Pullets??

[Courtney92]

What are yalls thoughts? First time chicken owner. The first pic are my 3 weekers, the ones circled in the 2nd and 3rd pics are my 6 weekers, and in the last pic is my 9 weekers. All are mixed breeds.

Ok I'm a little confused but
1st picture I'm seeing 2, possibly 3 cockerels.
2nd picture I'm seeing 4 cockerels
3rd picture 2 cockerels, circled one is pullet
4th picture 1 cockerel 2 pullets.

I hate to say it but you have a lot of boys there. Where did you get them? For future reference you'll want to stay away from the bins labeled straight run.

I got them from a friend when they were 3 days old. Oooh goodness. So to keep everyone happy do I need more hens?

Fist pic all boys, sorry
Second pic all are cockerels but the circled chick at photo 3 is a pullet.
And last, the white is the male and the two others are pullets. So you have 3 pullets and 9 cockers. You must keep only one boy from them if you want all to be happy

I want to make sure I’m understanding. So either separate or one of the roosters, or get more hens? How many hens per rooster does there need to be?

8-10 hens it's a good number for one big rooster. You can find a home for the others or you can... Eat them

If you want to keep all of them then you are going to need like, 100 hens.
