Hen or Roo. Help!

First time chicken Mommy I’m wondering if I have hens or roosters!!

Around 6 to 7 weeks.

Can’t really tell from these pics. Can you take some pics that show the neck and tail area feathers more clearly?

1, 3 and 4 are cockerels. Too young for male specific saddles

Yep, 2 is the only pullet. You might need to either
1. Sell the roosters and buy some pullet friends for 2. If you buy a lot more then it’s 4-5 hens per rooster if you keep them together.
2. Make a bachelor flock and keep the roosters, and buy more pullets
Or
3. Give them all to a good home.
As the roosters will over mate her

All the roosters are going to get homes. We have people that are interested because they’re so sweet.

They always are at that age… always the friendliest of the bunch. Then they hit the teen years

Agreed #2 is your hen.
