Picked up 3 bantams today

Welcome to BYC. They are cross breds. The two lighter birds are cockerels, and the darker bird is a pullet.

They were very hard to resist. Someone gave me them for free,l because they didn't realize it was against city ordinance to have more than three chickens.

You may want to check the ordinance if there is a restriction on the # of roosters as well just in case. I know some limit to one and others don't allow any. Hopefully your town doesn't have any on roos. Good luck

I agree at least 2 cockerels and EE mixes

Thanks for the good luck! I usually get the call because I live in the country, so no ordinances out here!

If you intend to keep them all, your going to need to get more pullets or those two cockerels are going to tear each other up over her, and her up with over mating.

I have 8 other hens that are 16 weeks old (regular size), but I plan on having these in quarantine for a few weeks to make sure they do not have any diseases.

In your opinion, should I separate them now?

Two bantam easter egger cockerels and one pullet. The cockerels are the ones with red combs.
