I am new to keeping chickens. Back in June, I got 9 pullets, or so I thought. It is becoming more and more apparent that at 24 weeks old, 4 or 5 of these hens are actually roosters. They crow and are becoming quite aggressive with each other. I'm hoping to benefit from the expertise of those of you more experienced chicken keepers. Not only are they not all hens, but they all ended up being mixed breeds, instead of the breeds that I was told that they are. Here are some photos. The Barred Rocks are obviously mixes, one of them is supposed to be a Black Australorp. The red one is supposed to be a Buff Orpington. So, what does everyone think? Are these roosters or hens?













 
The white one might be a pullet. (Can't see the tail feathers)
The rest are roosters. Sorry

Same thing happened to me once.

Thanks so much everyone for your responses and the warm welcome. I suspected that those are all roosters. The white bearded one is supposed to be an Americauna, and I think she's a hen. Here are a few others that I suspect may be roosters. What do you all think?


This is Slick, She/He is supposed to be a White Leghorn.




This is Aussie. He/She is supposed to be a Black Australorp.


This is Daisy. She's supposed to be a White Leghorn, but there's some Americauna or something in there. I'm not sure if she's a hen. She's become very aggressive with the other chickens, but unlike the chickens in the other photos, I haven't seen her crow. All the others except the little white bearded one have been crowing.


 
Aussie and Slick are DEFINITELY male. Do you have a side picture of Daisy?

Also, I'm sorry you got scammed! Can you write a bad review for the people you got it from/complain?
