Do I have roosters

[Vannahen]

The three in the very front, I am hearing a loud pitch noise coming from the three in the front, this is my second time having chickens and I just can’t tell. It’s high pitched and in the morning, def brighter red wattles than the others and more aggressive than the other three, Japanese bantam and 2 polish.

I would say the red one between the 2 polish is a roo, the rest look like hens to me...but I dont have experience sexing polish (hope I helped )

Like Ella2710, I think the Japanese bantam is male, and I'm also no good at sexing polish.

But if they are crowing, then of course they're male--maybe spend some extra time watching them in the morning, both to see who makes the noise and to better recognize whether it is crowing-- a rooster stretches his neck in a particular manner when crowing. Even if a crow sound strange because he's just learning, it may LOOK like he's crowing, and then you could be sure. (Youtube videos of roosters crowing may help you recognize this.)

Thank you! Yes the polish both stretch their necks upwards when crowing alsoThey do it when they are rough housing to see whom is taller

If they're crowing, then they are definitely males. (Well, a very few hens do crow--but that is rare enough I don't think you've got any.)

I figured as much, It’s just not the kind of crowing I have heard before, I think because they are so young and still learning. Thank you

Yes, they do sound funny when they're first learning
