We bought 6 "hopefully" hens April 1. They were labeled as straight run production reds as we want fresh eggs. But as they get older, we're wondering if some are roosters. One chases birds around the back yard and I've seen 2 get into fights, fluff up neck feathers and the like. Maybe they are still too young to tell. Below are some photos of them. They are almost 2 months old now. Thanks for any information!




This one looking at the camera is the smallest and has the smallest growing comb.






 
At least 2 are cockerels. The ones with the red combs and wattles in the first picture are definite males.

I agree. Looks like you have a couple of cockerals.

Thank you for the quick reply. 5 have red combs and wattles already. Looks like we will either swap or give away.
