I’m pretty sure all the chicks I bought this year are Roos 😔

I am starting to think all the chicks I bought this year are male. Three are polish. One is a light Brahma and the other is a gold laced Wyandotte. Is there any hope that I have a hen?

first 3 roos the polish, we need a close up on there comb. But looks like you got all roos.

Only the all black one had a visible comb. It almost looks like 2 horns.

Did you buy straight run?

Yes that’s all that was available this year. I plan on moving the Wyandotte and Brahma to my other flock. I am wondering how the roosters will get along with each other.

One of the polish looks like a hen. My roos got along untill I found a bloody battle wound on one of my silkie roos heads

4 cockerels for sure - not certain about the last bird.

can't comment on the Brahma because I don't know much about them, but the others are all boys.

If it makes you feel any better, I got 5 boys out of 6 chicks last year! Wanted to increase my hen flock, so kept the one girl, only for one of my existing hens to die. So I increased my laying birds by a net value of 0.
