Did I get 5 Roosters and 1 Hen!?!?

[sen2two]

I am very new to raising chickens. This is my first flock. I purchased what I believed to be 6 Rhode Island red hens. But now that they are older, I'm starting to think that I got five roosters in one hen. But really, I don't know how to tell. So I made a very short video of my flock. See the YouTube link below.

For reference, I was told that they were born at the end of February. So you can get an idea of their age.

You're right. Five roosters, One hen.

Looks like 5 boys, 1 girl to me.

I agree 5 males, 1 female. Those males are going to be very pretty!

What a bummer you sure did

This happened to me with my first ever flock. 5 out of 6 were boys. Had to give four cockerels away and get more chicks.

In my neighborhood. We can have a few chickens. But no roosters...

Now I have a decision to make. One thing's for sure, I cannot keep them.
