Hi all! Newbie here!

Hello and welcome to BYC! If you really don't want the boys, try to re-home them right away before you get attached. Roosters can be a lot of extra work when they are going through adolescence, so unless you really want one, just get rid of them now. Best of luck with your girls.

Thank you! I contacted the people I got them from and they are willing to do a swap. If I keep one cockerel, would 9 girls be enough?

That would be plenty.
Even if he had 20, he'd have his favorites and with time, you will know who they are. The favorites will always show signs of wear. As long has they are not injured, it is just cosmetic and nothing to be concerned with.
