My three girls???

I have three chicks hatched June 11(two months old). They were all supposed to be hens but I’m pretty sure they’re not. They all came from the same rooster, a Buff Orpington, but different hens.

The first is Rolly (supposedly 50% Buff Orpington, 50% Ameraucana)

The second is Hissy (full Buff Orpington or 25% Welsummer
75% Buff Orpington)

The third is Bingo (50% Ameraucana 50% Buff Orpington)

I’m almost positive Bingo is a female. The other two squabble with each other quite a bit. They never seem to hurt each other. They’ll just posture and then maybe one will jump on the other. Then they walk away.

Bingo is the only possible pullet. The other two are cockerels for sure.

Thanks. That’s kind of what I figured. I can’t have roosters and my kids raised these since they were a day old. Any ideas on how to get rid of the roosters without them ending up on a dinner table? Are there people who might trade a hen for a cockerel?

Your not likely to find somebody that'll trade a hen for a cockerel. My advise would be to give them to somebody who'll take them. And then buy a couple more pullets about the same age.

I’m thinking all 3 are cockerels.

You may be right. I'm not totally convinced Bingo is pullet myself. I'm on the fence with him/her.
