Granny's gone and done it again

Sigh, I am pretty sure that three of my "pullets" are actually cockerels. Their behavior is like a bunch of neighborhood toughs. They hang together and bully the REAL pullets, esp the smallest one, chasing them away from afternoon trests, but they flinch when the OG girls give them the side eye or stomp at them, and run off acting like punks on motorcycles. That makes 8 cockerels and only 7 pullets.
Isn't it amazing how some roosters show their strut when they are still covered in fluff?
 
Farm tomorrow. Going to bring the main herd a lic tub or two and a couple 5 gal buckets of fallen apples (will have to remember to drive over them a couple of times so they don't choke) I have managed to MIS-place my camera, hoping I left it at the farm.
When we were little and Mom made us pick up the fallen (wormy) apples, we would pierce them on a sharp stick to see how far we could throw them out to pasture. What sticky fun we had, apple juice all over us!

I have had a real struggle sexing these guys. They are about to be 4 months old. These 5 cockerels don't look much different from the pullets. I think that is a pullet beyond the fence, lol. And I thought there might be a pullet in this batch but now I'm pretty sure they're all cockerels.
