I think I have some roosters!

Hi there! I am new to this site and new to raising chickens! On July 5th, I bought 8 chickens from a woman who said that they were 3 to 6 months old. I think I have some roosters! Can anyone tell me about how old these Wyandottes are and if they are roos? Thanks

The pictures are too far away to make any kind of guess. If you can post pics of each individual bird, front/head and full body/side shot.

I think your right. Both of those Wyandottes look like cockerels.

I will try to get better pics this afternoon!

They look like roosters to me and I just got two silver laced wynndotte roosters this year.

Both of them are cockerals no doubt. You can see hackle/saddle feathers. Enlarged comb+waddles and big tail feathers.

Both cockerels, and I'd say 4-5ish months

Yep - along with pretty blatant "roo" coloring for SLWs

Thanks everyone! I got so excited when their combs and waddles started getting bigger and redder that they would start laying soon, but I guess that won't be happening! I may keep one, since I only have 12 chickens!
