Right - how to find homes for the cockerels

Are you not allowed to have cockerels? Depending on how many your total flock is, sometimes seramas tolerate multiple males better than some other breeds.

Ah ok. I have a few young cockerels, but probably still a bit too far. (north western WV, Ohio border)

If I kept them all I would have 5 cockerels and two hens

They have a lot of space but I can't imagine the original cockerel will be very happy with 4 more taking up his patch!

The guesses are probably correct but I'm not sure it would be 100% yet. I have attached a pix of my 3 seramas at 6 weeks and 3 days: Keanu, Dumpling, & Kiki

Look at how pronounced and red Keanu's comb is even at that young age. Then look at Dumpling in the middle....most would say pullet. Then Kiki on the right. Look at how much bigger the comb is than Dumpling's. Only seeing Dumpling and Kiki, a lot would guess pullet and cockriel. The reality is that Dumpling and Kiki have been laying eggs for 2 weeks now. Male combs get redder and larger much sooner but some female combs may be larger than others even in the same family. They do however stay more pink than red as Keanu's is.

Here's 2 that I bought with the seller hoping that they were pullets. They are very young in this pix. I didn't think so but took the chance. I was right and thankfully was able to rehome them.

Look at how pronounced the combs are. the seller showed me hens in their flock with combs larger than I would have expected to say that they could still turn out to be pullets. They weren't which was confirmed when they started crowing.

I'm just saying that perhaps a bit more time before any final decision is made. Good luck.
