How many roosters do I have?

[KyloChicken]

Hi everyone,

I hatched out 2 eggs from my own flock (white Brahma) and bought 5 more chicks (“Blue” Laced Wyandottes) from the feed store. None of the birds were sexed. They are 7.5 weeks old today and I’m starting to think I got mainly roosters. I get very attached (so does my husband) so if my gut feeling is right I guess we’ll be building a separate rooster pen.

First the 2 Brahma:

Now the 5 Wyandottes:

IMO you should only worry about Teddy. Keep an eye on CJ as well. Right now, your chances aren't bad

Right now, I don't see any thing that pops out to me about roosters. I do agree with what was said above. Watch those two. If you don't see the combs/wattles getting bigger that I would say that you have a females!!

Oh that sounds fantastic! Thank you so much! I’ll update pictures once they are grown!

I’ll count that as an early Christmas present we call them the itty bitty chicken committee and they are the worst behaved bunch of young chickens we’ve ever had…that’s what made us think they’re all roos even our big patient dog and the two grown roosters are about done with their bs

All of the Wyandottes look like girls to me! Rascal is a girl as well. I think CJ is probably a male.
Also, to me the Wyandottes look to be Golden Laced instead of Blue Laced. Teddy may be a Blue Laced, but the rest are definitely Golden Laced.

Oh I love to hear that!
I’ve already started to accept my fate that spending extra money on “blue” laced Wyandottes might not have been my smartest move haha but the black lacing on gold is beautiful too, so I’m not gonna complain
