Idk, they are at my son in laws and he swears they are all hens....he says none have crowed that he knows of. My wife is there tonight and snapped the pics.

Hey, they look pretty nice for a mixed flock, quite pretty... Can't see any in your latest pics that appear to be roosters but the pics are kind of small, but the birds are at an age where you should be able to tell... Mixed birds are harder though, since you don't really know what they will mature to look like or what genetics is in there. But I still think you did all right! Definitely look like egg layer breeds... At least to me.

Ok, so I think 3 cockerels just going by the combs. Had to get them today so I had to rush to finish the tin and door. But, all 10 are now in. When I went to get them it was the first time I had seen them in person. They were in a small pen with dirty water and no food. They had runny poo. He gave me half a bag of feed, feeder, and waterer. They ate like hogs when I got them in. I did add some ACV to the water even though the mixed reviews, I figured it couldn't hurt.

The feed is TSC brand. 16% protein with calcium. I fed them Purina Flock Raiser when I got them home.
