Immature Birds- Breed and Sex needed

[Troubs]

These are a friend's birds and she has had them for a short while. She is (overreacting IMO) thinking at least 3 of them are roosters. I am hoping that getting an idea of breeds will help her determine (possibly down the line a bit) if they are hens or roosters. We live in the city and only hens are allowed.

How old are these birds? Where did she get them?

These factors will change the meaning of what I am seeing in a couple of them

How old? She's not overreacting. I see at least 2 males. And maybe another. The black and a red are males.

Hi, welcome to BYC!

Agreed, 3 cockerels in that group... breed is irrelevant, though I do get how if your not sure it could help you decide.

I don't know what you mean by over reacting? If you don't rehome them, before long they will be chasing the pullets, grabbing their feathers and making them scream while they help themselves to some mounting. Cockerels almost always reach mating age before pullets do.

Start making plans now for the boys since you already know they have to go. Good luck!
