I know the answer to the brown one…

But how about the other ones?

Also, what do you guys do with your excess roosters? I suspect we have at least 6 from a hatch of 12.

2 is a hen. 3 I think is a hen, but could be a rooster too.

First one and last one are cockerels.
You give away, sell them or eat them.

Thanks! When would you say cockerels are generally ready to head to the freezer?

Here's a good thread about when to butcher cockerels: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-is-the-best-age-to-butcher-non-meatie-roosters.195909/

I agree with nuthatched about gender. 1 and 3 are boys, 2 is a girl.

2 is a pullet. 1 and 2 look like cockerals

Thanks all!! When I compare the rest it looks like we have 6 roosters and 4 hens, so I guess we’re having soup in a few weeks time

Anyone want to give an opinion on this one? Cockerel or pullet?
