I'd start a new thread and post individual pictures of you birds. That way you can get a for sure head count on how many roos and hens you have.

If the roosters are fighting each other excessively (to the point of blood) someone needs to go (occasional squabbles and feather pulling can be normal). If your hens backs and necks are bare, you need to downsize on the cocks. If he is attacking you, family, or friends he need to go.

Welcome to BYC! :frow

Your chickens look to be about 8 to 9 weeks old. There is a silkie cockerel in the first, second and third pictures. These are the birds with the larger comb and wattles. The chickens with the black and white patterns are Barred Rocks. Your birds with the feathered feet are Marans. Best of luck with starting off your chicken keeping journey.

Hi I’m new here! We just got chicks this spring for the first time! We were told very conflicting information about our chicks from different store employees and just want to get it all straight! 1. One person told us when we purchased them that they were 1-2 weeks old. We went back the same day to get 4 more and someone else said they were 3-4 weeks old. Based on some Google search images we are guessing they are about 10 weeks now and I want to know what other people think? We also are pretty certain we may have a few roosters in the bunch, and I also was hoping if I posted some pics if someone might be able to tell for me? We have 12 total. Thanks!
