I wouldn't put them out yet...If they are RIR maybe, but those sure look like my leghorns...all hens.. give it some time..they may be girls...except the one that is crowing of course...but he may be the only one...

So crowing is a definite sign of a rooster?

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

No, some hens crow. I know someone who has a hen who crows ever day after she lays her egg. I used to have a hen who occasionally crowed.

However, the two boys posted at the beginning of this thread are all boy. With two hens you can build a separate pen and have a pair in each.

don't expect eggs until about 6 mo old...

Okay, here is one for compairing the possible roosters with the possible hen. The one in the middle is the one I think is a female. What do you guys think?

I agree

I agree. Both roosters. If you look at the size of the comb, wattles, and body of the hen in the middle... Even her color is lighter. I know my EE cockeral has more attractive color than the pullet.
