How many cockerels?

[akcanderson]

I have 6 five-week-old chicks that our broody Speckled Sussex hatched and raised, and I suspect that at least 4 or 5 are cockerels…I am certain that the one in the front is, as he has had a redder and larger comb since two weeks old. I also suspect that the one at the back right is a pullet. Any advice on the other 4? Photo is attached. Thanks

I think the only pullet is the white one on the right, but it could be a cockerel, not sure. The rest are cockerels.

I only see one pullet.

This is a great photo though, I love how they’re all looking at the mama.

Agreed.

I think you have five roos one pullet far right

All cockerels except the pullet that you pointed out.

Thank you all for your input! Now for the million dollar question…what to do with 4 or 5 cockerels I only have 9 hens so keeping more than one roo is not an option.

Eat them, list them of fb if you don't want to butcher, find out if there is a crazy guy near you that will take any animal and give them to him
