Roos? I think I already know but hope I’m wrong

Acquired 6 Polish, pretty sure 3 not shown are roosters, but thinking only one of these is a hen which would be a 1 in 5 ratio, If I give the boys their own bachelor pad then the hen would be alone. I have 6 other hens to one rooster that are kept separate from these, I’m afraid she’d just be too small to attempt to integrate her…..they are so much fun to watch and super sweet but 1 to 5 hen ratio is horrifyin, what to do

Age would be very helpful to know.

Great. My opinion is that the silver laced is a cockerel, the white crested black is a pullet, and the frizzle could go either way and needs more time. Its comb appears to be small and pale, and that is a good sign. Hopefully you will have 2 rather than 1 pullets. But even if that happens, it would be best to only have one male with them. I would be looking into rehoming the rest if I was you.

I agree with Jed. You could post photos of the others as well, maybe there are some pullets hiding out in there.

Yea that’s what I was afraid of, hopefully I can find someone interested

1st 2 pictures both are crowing and pretty confident they’re Roos, but the last one (2 pics) could maybe be a hen? The ratio if so would be 50/50 mix which is still too much?

Those three are definitely cockerels, sorry. I notice that they all have a lot more comb than the silver-laced, though. That one could have a chance at being a pullet, though the head feathers are super crazy.
