Thought I was getting Black Sexlink pullets and ended up with .....game roosters?

These sweet roos are about 5 months old and I really enjoy them, but I thought I was getting hens. So now I am debating on keeping for breeding, meat, or to sell them but I'm really not sure what they are. As they got their adolescent feathers I started to think they may be game roosters but the more research I do the more possibilities of breeds I find. Any and all input is valued and appreciated. Thanks in advance.














Also since I got all these from the same guy I am wondering if this roo is an EE or not. It's probably harder to tell and I am assuming they may just all be mixed.

Are you sure they're roosters? Some look like hens. I've never had game chickens, but I think they're all kind of long. They're beautiful nonetheless!

Thanks for the reply. I am honestly not sure if they are roosters. All 3 are crowing and differ in looks from my pullets. It would be great if they were hens though. Thanks for the welcome.

They are all male. The "EE" isn't an EE either, it looks like a Wyandotte cross. EE's have beards and muffs and a different body shape. I don't know what the other rooster are though. Sorry

No it's ok, I got them all as SR chicks at $2 a piece so no disappointments I'm just wanting to learn.

All are mixed breed males.

Mixed breed roosters.
