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

[Cyprus]

Correction: Cockerels and a pullet.
They're not roosters or hens until they are over 1 year old.

Also, the word chicken does not mean female chicken. Male chickens are also chickens. There is no distinction between a rooster and a chicken.

Indeed only one hen

I would go on Facebook or call your local humane society, give the boys a chance... It's not their fault. Don't buy straight run chickens! and don't buy from Tractor Supply, I've read lots of people getting the wrong breed or Roos. Find a local feed mill who sells chicken feed, they might sell chicks too! I have a store in my area called Farm and Fleet, they get their pullets from Cackle Hatchery, I've had 2 sets of chicks and ALL were PULLETS. Good thing because I'm allowed 0 chickens, I have an acre lot in a suburb, my neighbors LOVE my girls, however, my city does not!!
