Hi, this is my first post, I'm new too all of this,

[Sam85]

I hope someone out there can help me, I have 3 10 week old babies, 1 I hatched at home a Wyandotte hen and 2 we brought at 6days old as we thought our 1 would be lonely,
When we brought them the seller had a mixer of chicks all together so he couldn't tell me what ones we had chosen, can anyone out there help me on breed and if male & female
Thank you in advance

Welcome.
I see one female (maybe ) wyandotte, and two mutt cockerels.
Also, they can’t live in a tiny dark cage in an house - chickens need dirt, fresh air, and sunshine.

And I’m sorry, but you also can’t keep the two boys with that one girl.
In a few weeks they will literally murder her, being so crazed by hormones that they hurt her trying to breed her. And she can’t even get away in that little cage.

Yes they are going out next week, they have a converted Wendyhouse, but with it being so cold I kept them in for a bit, they do run around the room they have there own space just sleep here together

I was hoping only 1 was going to be the boy, yes I did read about 2 boys I have someone that will collect 1 of them I was just hoping they wasn't going to be

Thanks

Ah, that’s good. I’m glad! Also, I realize my posts came across as cold and harsh - I apologize.
Do you have a way to replace the boys with a couple of girls?
It’s unfortunate, but they really will hurt her.

That's ok, it's nice that u there to care, and advice is appreciated too,
Not at the moment but later on hopefully will do, will they be ok just 1 of each, I did read up normally 5 hens to 1 cock,
Thanks

Hello, Sam, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Two mixed breed cockerels and a Wyandotte pullet that need bigger digs!
They are fully feathered and can be transitioned outdoors.
