I think I have a flock of ROOSTERS!!

[downsm75]

Or I have been told anyway

All cockerels :/

Ugh, looks like ALL cockerals. however there is ONE I really question but if it is really eight weeks old, the red production would have been a cockeral. I feel sorry for you with all those odds.

If you got them from the feed store in straight run, I am not surprised. Too many of my friends bought chicks from the feed store and hatcheries as straight runs, ended up either with 100% roos or 90% roos. Terrible odds because the hatcheries always "dump" their surplus into the straight run bins.

If you are not planning on keeping them, stew pot or give them away would be the best solution.

I bought 11 chicks straight run and lucked out with only two being boys. It's all a gamble.

Im'm guessing they were a week when I got them... Not positive on age

I feel your pain. My first eight chicks all turned out to be roosters.

 

[downsm75]

I would LOVE to keep them. Roosters are beautiful, but I need to get them some girls...

 

[downsm75]

Yep all roosters. Got some new ones today that may be pullets...

Ok, My "production red" is all shiny. My BO is not and has an extremely fluffy butt...
