New to chickens, what gender?

[Kenny2323]

New to chickens, started with zero knowledge, learning as I go. These 3 birds I assume are probably roosters based on what I have read, but decided to ask to learn more on how to tell. All 3 are about 17 weeks, 2 are some type of maran. Not sure on the other. None have made any type of crow. Thank you

Hi there, first of all .
All of them are cockerels in my opinion, I can see they all have sickle and hackle feathers.

I believe you're right, I'm thinking they're all cockerels

They all look like Cockerels

All are cockerels except for the ones in the background. (The one on the left side of the first and last pictures).

I appreciate the answers. Being a little over 4 months of age, at what point would I need to separate them? Or do I? The other 5 have characteristics more along the lines of what I have read that hens have. Thanks again

If you have 5 hens, and 3 roosters, you should only keep 1 with the hens otherwise over breeding will occur and the hens will become tired and lose feathers and become injured. Pick your favourite (I like the 3rd one) and get rid of the other 2.

I can’t figure out how to make my own post but need help with genders also. They are 3 and 4 months old. There are 2 silver laced, 2 red/blue laced, 3 black, and a white chicken

Go to Forums>The gender category>Post new thread button on the top right. Could you please take some more, better individual pictures please. Both the silver laced are cockerels. Both red/blue look to be pullets but the one in the first picture may be a cockerel but need a better picture. All the black and white appear to be pullets.
