First time raising chicks...didnt know i should buy them sexed

[Mychickshavepowers]

I think I have all roosters if that's possible. They all have prominent combs and thick legs and very dominant behaviors. I love them and I can't have roosters. Then I found out you can order chicks already sexed. I will next time, and I'm trying not to worry...yet. What do I do if they are though? I really don't want someone to try to eat them. They're so friendly. And if they are, and if I sell them, when do I do that? They're only 5 weeks old

You can sell them, some people can take in roosters! Can we see pictures of them?

They are. No doubt. Well the few you posted pictures of are.

Yeah but the pics aren't good they try to jump on my hand when I open the brooder

Do I sell them later or now? I don't want to keep bonding if I can't keep them

That's up to you. The sooner you start trying to find them a home the better luck you will have. Rehoming boys is not easy. You may have trouble even giving them away.

Okay thanks for your help. I'll start now then. Learned my lesson

it's hard to tell the sex at 5 weeks old especially if we don't know the breed.
I think they all look very similar at the moment which is good, it's either one problem or no problem, they're either all boys or all girls or it really is far too soon to tell.

Oh okay. They're rhode island reds. Its so hard to tell! But my Jerseys are so different I have no idea what they are either, but they're only 3 weeks old and already bigger than the reds

kiki reckons they are all boys and she is probably right and I'd prepare to get rid of them but maybe not till you are sure
