On Christmas morning we heard a cock-a-doodle-doo! I'm suspicious that 3 (of our 5) chickens may be roosters. They are all between 12-13 weeks old. Any experienced guesses? Here are a few pictures...

Sorry..but at 12-13 weeks old some have enormous combs...and thats alot of redness...pullets dont get red combs until point of lay...and if you look closely you can see roster tail feathers coming in....sorry but all 3 are cockerels.
 
I went through my first session of eggs hatching this spring, with 16 "new" birds in the coop. Based on what I saw, and what has resulted, I would agree that these are three roosters.

The one in the middle might be a Plymouth Rock.
