Im concerned, did I really end up with sooo many cockerels?😭

I'm not great at sexing chickens from pictures. How old are they and can you take pictures of their whole body. Pullets start developing red combs and wattles before they start laying too, so I usually look at the body as a whole before deciding between girl and boy

They look to be a cockerels, the 6 th pic I’m not sure(can u get a face shot).

They appear to mostly be cockerels, but please include age (as pullets do develop waddles and combs when older as they reach point of lay). Full body side-on photos would be helpful too. Did you buy them or hatch them? If bought, how old were they?

 

[Painted Calls]

This is an easy group, but please include age in the future. It makes all the difference.

Unfortunately you did. They are all cockerels.

Unfortunately, you hatched all cockerels. Though I'm not sure about #6, as I can't see the head. Will you take more pictures?

Gosh, what a bummer. I agree they all are cockerels. Most of us have had the same kind of bad luck in the past. Time to start making plans because you definitely don't want that many boys. You can eat them, or sell them, or give them away. We have a re-homing thread on BYC, or you can list them on Craigslist. In the future it might be a good idea to buy sexed hatchery or feed store chicks, especially sex links, which are pretty reliable. Best of luck.
