Cockerels. They will 'turn into' roosters at 12 months of age.

Nice looking boys! They look just like our GLW boy! The one in the front has a nice looking comb and nice body type.

Difficult yo see? Or... Maybe sold 2 cockerels as hens on purpose?

Traders (the mean ones) in the Netherlands often like to sell cockerels as pullets to people who have no or little experience. Sometimes they even sell sick chickens. Grrrr

I doubt it. They came from a reputable hatchery along with 14 other chick . Im just surprised that the sneaky males ended up being my only two Wyandottes.

Boys.

Can you get a better picture of the one in the very back of this photo?
It might be a boy too.

Very back is an Easter Egge . I was sure she was a boy for a few weeks but she's definitely a lady bird. She just has a long tail.

They are beautiful. I'm hoping they stay nice and I get to keep them.

Once their hormones hit they might not be so nice.
How many hens do you have?

5 girls 3.5 years old and 11 same age as the cockerels.

Im going to get another round of chicks in the spring, so another 6-10 hens eventually

With enough room, they could get along well. I have had two cockerels/roosters at the same time. I kept them housed in separate coops at night and during the winter. In the spring when everyone got let out again, the two boys had a couple of scuffles, then each flock kind of established their own territory. Be prepared, though, because it can get ugly real fast. Have a plan to separate or rehome one of them if it comes to that.
