help identifying these breeds/gender would be great

[Mr.Universe]

butterscotch and pumpkin are boys. probably daisy mae is a boy too, so hes being named dennis. lol

 

[Mr.Universe]

so last question. they are cockerels, is it ok to let them settle differences between eachother at this age so tey get along or is that never going to happen and keep them seperated?

i have them in the same run as eachother so they can all get some outside time

More than likely you won't see any serious fighting until next spring. Separate if necessary.

 

[Mr.Universe]

they keep going at it here and there but mostly stay on opposite sides of the 10'x8' run they are in.

we plan to de spurr all males to prevent damage to hens and other animals on the property. a neighbor up the road hasnt de spurred his roosters and they frequently have to tend to wounds on theyre goats

If they are drawing blood than separate. Mine aren't confined and can get away from each other. Under confinement it's a different story.

 

[Mr.Universe]

i dont see blood draw and pay super close attention to all our birds as we have osprey, bald eagles, red tail hawks, and euro starlings in the area. i take care of the starling issue but really nothing i can do about the predators

How many hens do you have? As long as there's no serious fighting or bullying, I wouldn't worry about it.

Is it just me (or maybe the photo perspective), or does the barred one look a little crested?

It has the fat head of a Cochin.

they have really flat fat heads, unlike our plymouth rock laying hen

we currently have 3 layers 2 are 3 years old and ones about a year maybe 2, then the 6 sex links, the 2 BR or whatever they are. then the bantam blue, and the austros. if we have 3 cockerels that makes 13 not including the layers, puts the count to 16

my girlfriend and I plan on taking the bantams with us when we leave my mothers house so then its 15 and 2 cockerels
