She's much smaller than the others, I'll see if I can get a better picture of her. Urghh I'm soooo sad Juniper (# 2) is one of my favorite and we're not allowed roosters in my district

Thats what I thought Wish I was able to keep them... we love them so much but the district won't allow roosters

 

[Overo Mare]

Agree on 2, 6, and 7 being cockerels.

agreed, 2,6,7 are cockerels... There could be more... these three are early cockerels.

I think one is a pullet but another picture would help. I know how you feel- the Roos are always the friendliest when they are small. We recently hatched six chicks and 5 were Roos , but luckily we are able to keep them. If it helps, generally when the Roos get older they will become less friendly, and the hens more as time goes on. I’m sorry about the situation your in.
