I think my hens are roosters...

Those aren't even hatchery Delawares-they have no barring at all in hackles or tail feathers as a Delaware should.

They look more like Columbian Rocks, but those are so darn rare, I hesitate to say that.

Ok, so now that we've essentially determined that they are all male.. what in the heck am I going to do now? Even though the head honcho, Falconerry, is a butthead and protects his flock and bites us every time we come near we still love them. However, flock of roosters is not something nature intended....

We COULD kill them, but when we purchased them we had the intentions of keeping them as pets and we grew attached to them. Very few people want roosters, especially when we have no idea what breed they are. Ideas??

Actually roosters can live in a flock together quite nicely. With no hens to fight over they squabble a little for dominance, but usually not drawn out blood drawing to the death fighting. You could just keep a bachelor pad and have hens in another coop.

That's exactly what I've done
