Roosters?

[Jenna1414chickens]

So these chicks are about 4 weeks old and they were labeled as red cross pullets when we bought them but now I'm thinking they are roosters because it seems like they just have too much comb and they are too red for their age. Thoughts? Thanks for any help.

The chick on the bottom with visible wattles and a red comb is most likely male. Cute chicks.

So I have 6 grown hens that are about 3 years old, 4 pullets that are 4 weeks old, and im getting two more chicks that are suppose to be pullets that are 3 weeks old, so do you think these two roosters will be ok with that amount of hens once they get older or should I get rid of them?

 

[Jenna1414chickens]

I would have a total of 12 hens and 2 roosters

They should be ok. Ive always heard 6 to 8 hens per rooster
