Sex wyandotte & bcm

[Jillan]

Please help! I'm writing from Sweden new to raising chickens and have already had 11 of 14 chickens turning out being roosters. Now I'm wondering if also my wyandotte and bcm are roosters, in which case I only have 1 hen out of 14 . I have 3 bcm that I already know are roosters, long tails and big wattles and combs. Only 1 that is possible hen but I think the colouring is wrong. Only have 1 wyandotte that I'm hoping hen as well. Have 4 Isbar and 3 of them were roosters. Out of my 3 Hedemora (swedish sort) all were roosters. So what do you think? They are 11 weeks!

They both look like roosters, at 11 wks old wattle and combs are only that red if they’re roosters.

Both are cockerels, as shown by red wing bars. (and comb/wattles)

They are both cockerels!
Did you purchase sexed chicks or did you hatch eggs? Either way those are just terrible odds.

I agree with previous posters, I'm so sorry. They are gorgeous birds! I'm sorry you had such an outcome, the ratio is usually a little better than that

Thank you very much for your replies! I can't believe my bad luck, than out of 14 chickens I have 1 pullet ! I hatched them myself, but I have more eggs in the hatcher so I hope that will go better.

Handsome fellas!
What are you going to do with all those cockerels?
Good luck with the rest of your hatch!

 

[Acre4Me]

Yes, cockerels. Bad odds! But, can't really get much worse than those odds, so the rest of your hatches should always be better than this one. I'm happy to hear you have more in the incubator. Good Luck!

 

[Jillan]

Ha some will end up as dinner I guess . No cant get worse than that! Thank you again!

The first one is a cockerel. I'm not so sure on the second. The comb and wattles aren't extremely large. I would post back pics of it around 12-13 weeks, of the saddle feather area.
