We've had three hatches this year - all own eggs, hen raised and freeranged from birth.
First hatch of 3 are 20 weeks and second hatch of 9 are 14 weeks and its looking like 9, maybe even 11 are boys
Time has come for rehoming or culling unfortunately. While some are very obviously boys there are a couple I'm not 100% sure on. Size, leg thickness and tail feathers would suggest boys but they have quite rounded saddle feathers.
I've had mixed opinions from elsewhere, so just looking for a second opinion before we separate them from the flock.
I need to get some better pictures of four of the them, so will post those later - but these are the first few.
I know some are definitely boys but I've purposely not put which ones I'm unsure about so I can get unbiased opinions
