How many Roos?

[PotatoHead]

Hi all! New to raising chickens and to this forum. Hopefully it’s just my inexperience but, reading all the Pullet or Cockerel threads has me scared that I have a flock of Roo’s. My ‘Ladies’ (hopefully) are 6+ weeks old. I have four RIR’s, three SLW’s, and one GLW. Please let me know what ya think!

Wyandottes are sexed by feathering more than by comb color--they get red combs pretty early (I was spooked too, first time I got them.) Production reds are easier. Of the ones I see, eight is the only one I think may be a cockerel.

Are you sure they are 6+ weeks old? They look younger.
1 is a cockerel. Some of your NHRs might be....give it a few weeks.

# 8 cockerel, Would you please post new photos at 8 weeks, there might be another 1 or 2 boys

#1 is a cockerel, I'd wait a few more weeks and see with the others

Oh the pressure! They have to grow up some to really tell.

I think number 5 and 7 are clearly a roosters, and I think number 1 is a rooster to and also chick number 2
