Updated pic: 10 week old RIR

Does anyone know if there’s a chemical castration for cockerels?

I have heard that once people used to castrate roos with chemicals in the states, but it was eventually banned because they caused cancer. I have no experience with those chemicals. I castrate them myself and it takes less than two minutes and it's easier on the birds.

Pullet

Agreed. Idk why people said there's two cockerels in the first pic. The one was clearly a Pullet and the other was questionable. The tail is slightly concerning but probably just needs to molt out. The Pullet appears to have grown into her comb though. I'm gonna say pullet too

I have 12 RIR that are 13 weeks. I believe these are pullets. I guess we will both find out for sure when they start laying eggs. Pullets can have combs an waddles also. They just won’t be as big or red as a rooster. This is my rooster.
