What breed and gender

Further evidence - how does one unknowingly end up with a flock of cockerels.

Fair point. Are we not going to talk about the bengum?

Wait just a second my friend.

OP says these birds are 20 weeks old.

3,7,8,14 are pullets.

#11 looks like a Indio

At 20 weeks any pullets should be laying or showing signs that they are about to lay.

All of them are cockerels

I believe i was scammed when i bought them. Her husband reached in and grabbed them from a bin which was supposed to be straight run. They all came from the same place at the same time.

Well they are a bit strange.

The numbers I listed, look very much to be pullets with the combs, wattles, and head shape - but, as fluffy said - most of these birds have feathers that only a male should have.

You def have a lot of cockerels there, no doubt. But if 4 of them actually are pullets, i would say it wouldnt be abnormal to have this m/f ratio pulling from a straight run bin.

**NOTE** straight run bins are ALWAYS going to be rooster heavy. Most hatcheries admit to pulling some, but not all, of the pullets out.

Dang it. Nail in the coffin here.

Conversely, they should also be crowing. Which would most likely sound like a symphony in this case.

These are10 different birds about 20 week old RIR or Red Rocks. I have a feeling they are all RIR but not sure. Also not sure about the gender

They all look like they are RIR roosters bc of thier neck feathers and their saddle feathers
