So I purchased 8 chickens from a local store. I purchase 4 pullets, and 4 straight run. I knew I would at least get one rooster. I love them so much and think they are beautiful. But certainly I cannot keep 3 cockerels in 1 coop with my hens. I have uploaded pictures below of the 4 in questions lol. Two Rhode Island Red and two Austrolorp. I believe I have one puller and one cockerel Rhode Island. But I’m not so sure and the austrolorps I can’t tell at all. Help me!!

Could you post a photo of the austrolorps both looking directly at the camera, I can't see anything more than side shots of the comb and I am unsure if I am just seeing the same birds comb in multiple photos.

But yes agree with you on the Rhode islands.

Are these better? They really have me stumped lol

This is a hard one. But due to the really red wattle coming in on the one and nothing on the other. I would put my money on one pullet and one cockerel. You should really notice a difference in another week.

Thank you! I agree. I’m hoping it’s is one of each. I have a RIR cockerel whom I intend to keep and a loving home where this little guy in the pictures will go with my mother in law.

Rhode Islands is a female/male. Australorps are both males.
