Here we go. Cockrels or hens?

[BellasBunch]

They were sexed when I purchased them. Hum. I have an existing flock of 7 hens and 2 small bantam roosters. My new flock is 7 chickens about 3 months old and was hoping for all hens. The one 's in question are black Mystic Maran who tries to crow and an Easter Egger. Both are sweety pies. If they are roosters do you think everyone could live happy together?

Yep, you have 2 cockerels.

2 cockerels.

Agree. And twelve hens aren't going to be happy with four roosters!

Agreed.

It's normal to have more cockerels than can be managed in the flock! Hard, but necessary. I moved a rooster and seven cockerels on this summer, and still have one extra. All nice birds, just too many.
