I have a friend who raises meat birds semi-commercially, and she said anything that has red on it before 10 weeks is going to be a cockrel. I have longtime hobby farm chicken friends who agree. So either I am the unluckiest of unlucky at picking chicks from the farm store and managed to get 50 percent male or... Well, I dunno! I'm going to post them in separate posts to keep them separate, I'm only using I think four because they share characteristics with others in the same breed. All of them are hatched approx April 1, they are hatchery "breeds" so don't hold it against me.
