Help with these frizzles please

[Grammy D]

I am new to caring for chickens. These are the frizzles that recently came into my care. Can any one please tell me what they are? They are currently about 11 weeks old. I would like to do some research about their specific needs. I had a really difficult time trying to get a good picture. These little cuties are unfortunately not very friendly.

Well I am unsure on breed BUT for getting them friendly that part is pretty easy (just takes time). I always talk to them telling mine (and the ones I've worked with) what I'm doing and ask them (they never answer me in human of course) if they want something. I start with offering treats. You can be bold and just crouch down (or kneel) and hold a hand with treats low and out. May take a loooong time but they may get brave and eat it. If they don't seem ready just carefully sprinkle them and lean back. Stay and hang around while they eat. Chat and they will be a bit better. If they're skittish it can be hard to make them lap pets but it's possible that they will warm up and you'll have them hanging around your feet or talking to you. It's getting the association that good things come from you. I pick up two different ways I clasp the wings and lift (whole body wrap) then tuck them under my arm so they are close and feel secure. I will also let them roost on my arm. They are who they are but time and patience you will hear the cute coo chat directed at you. They're super cute chicks though

I am not very sure but I am guessing maybe frizzle red cochins.

They look like frizzed Cochin bantams.

I’m really sorry to say this but they all look like frizzle red Cochin cockerels.

Yes, I agree looking closer at them.

I agree that they are all most likely cockerels.

I am not great at sexing them young (except cornish x and sex links) so I will say listen to the majority and it may be a bit hard to keep them all together with multiple boys you get hormones and fighting.

All cockerels from me as well

Oh joy! Looks like I am being tested once again. So, probably all cockerels. At least knowing the breed will help me figure things out AND I can name them.
