Roo or hen?

[RockyBottomAcres]

I bought 25 "straight run" Jersey giants the first week of January. They should be about 11 weeks now. To me they look like they may all be roosters. Can anyone help? I can get better pic

they don't all look to be roos but you did not get lucky!
there look to be about 15 roos and 10 hens. if you could take some time and get individual pics numbered I could tell you for sure

on second thought they could all be roos, but i'm not very familiar with how Jersys develop

I don't think they are all cockerels but they do look to be mostly cockerels. Red combs and big wattles are cockerels. Pink combs and small wattles are pullets.

Yeah I'm thinking they may be mostly if not all roos On the up side they're a dual purpose bird. Does anyone know a good processing age on this breed?

3 months for fryers, 4-8 months make good roasters, older for noodles. Just a heads up, you may want to just skin them rather than pluck them. Black pin feather really suck.
