Roosters?

[Chris17233]

Hi my name is Chris, first time chicken owner I have 11 total. The first 7 we got back in early April an the next 4 was in early June an of the two young ones I think they might be roosters any information on sex an breed would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Yep. They are cockerels.

Yep. They are cockerels.

Now will they get along together down the road ? As of now they seem fine together. I read it’s good to only have one rooster to 10 hens. Should I keep them or get rid of one of them?

It all depends. If they're around hens, they'll most likely fight each other for the hens. If not around hens, they'll be fine. Lots of people have what they call a Bachelor Flock which is a flock of just roosters. If you're going to rehome them, you probably don't need to rehome both if you don't want to. As far as rehoming, if you want to, I have article on how to rehome roosters on Craigslist. Here's the link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/how-to-post-on-craigslist.76257/
