Pullets vs cockerels. The cocks are winning!

I know I have at least 4 roosters out of the 6 chicks I started with but I'm holding out hope that both of these are my hens. I know the experts out there can help this first time chicken momma out!! Please and thank you!

Roughly 3.5 months old. Ok, great!!! I desperately need at least 2 pullets to my 4 cockerels. I am getting more chicks soon. But they all get along as of now.

You’ll need 8 or more pullets for each cockerel. Keeping 4 cockerels isn’t logical….

Or you could have three of them in separate housing. Roosters have a good chance at getting along if there aren't hens to fight over.

I know. It's way too money roosters for one coop. They are bantam chickens and still young so it hasnt been an issue yet. I will eventually be giving some away to a friend's farm.

Thank you for that info. I didn't know that.

Those 2 are pullets!

I would definitely only keep 1 or 2 cockerals. But you would have to get more pullets then

Thank you for the reply. I have 5 chicks arriving in 2 weeks. Fingers crossed I get my girls!
