What about Puddles?

Im so bummed...what am I going to do with 8 roosters?

Puddles hackles look male to me... but I can't see the saddle feathers to tell. So far I agree with above... And yes, Misty is a cockerel.
Incidentally, here's what we're looking at, and its a completely male trait. Females will never have feathers like these

Also another problem I have is that none of my chickens except Bravehart roost , also they do not go in the coop at night. Does being roosters have anything to do with it?

Not that I'm aware of... there are things you can do to encourage them to roost in the coop, but if your going to trade them out for pullets, I wouldn't bother.

Bravehart and Fiona look like pullets.
Fiona's female-specific coloring is what makes me think girl...
Can you get another pic of her just in case?

BTW, little one is adorable!!! I love his dark red and stripey feathers. SOOO cute!

Thank god so maybe I have 2 girls out of nine!!!!

I once had a situation...11 chicks. One died. Seven cockerels, 3 pullets. The one good thing was that we didn't need to expand our coop as much as we would have.

Pretty birds, although its a bummer to end up with so many darn boys! Out of 6, i ended up with one that became a hawk-lunch and 5 boys! Luck of the draw, i guess. I wish my supplier switched out for hens! That's awesome. Good luck!
