Please be hens!!

I bought 9 Easter Egger chicks straight run in April, so they’re about 14 weeks now... are these two hens?! The other 7 have pointy tail feathers and slightly lager combs and big waddles

Those are cockerels. 2nd one MIGHT be a female.

They both look like cockerels.

At 14 weeks...are any of them crowing? Someone else chime in. Post pics of the other birds. Do you think you ended up with 9 boys?

listen to their voice. have they been trying to crow? any raspy or strange noises? i think you have all roosters, however. quickly some up with a plan for them as 9 roosters are more than enough! maybe use them as meat and put them in some stew or find some better homes for them! for all i know is that you DONT want them all together. keep 2 at maximum!

They both appear to be cockerels. The combs are a bit tricky to go by, especially on the second one, but the shiny saddle feathers make me pretty certain that they're cockerels.

They are both 1000% cockerels, sorry

I’m thinking I might have 9 boys... some of them try to crow... they were the last chicks left and I took all 9 so maybe someone knew how to vent sex them? these are the other ones

How old should they be before I turn them into stew they’re all pretty tiny still
