What breed or gender are these?

[Tatokral]

I have three chickens. The white one hatched on September 21, the other two on September 23. I know next to nothing about chickens, but from what I researched online, I guessed the red one to be a boy and the other two to be girls. But now that they're getting older, the red one and the white one are getting fighty. Not actually attacking each other, but puffing up their feathers and staring each other down. Which makes me scared they both might be boys. I don't even know their breeds, they seem very tall and slender to my uninitiated eyes. I tried to include pictures, but it's really difficult to get a picture of their faces without them constantly bobbing their heads, resulting in blurry pictures. So I'm adding a short 12 second video I put on youtube. Any help on their breeds or gender would be greatly appreciated

They know which is which. Separate them if they continue to fight. The boys will crow in six months. The girls will lay an egg. Usually the way they stand you can guess but until they get all the feathers in no real way to tell.

They are a game breed of some sort. Asils, Shamo, or maybe Malays. Unfortunately they are all three cockerels, sorry.

All three are lovely Asian Game cockerels.

Thanks for the answers everyone! As depressing as the information was! What should I do about this situation? Get a lot of hens and build a bigger chicken run? If so, how many hens per rooster? Or not get any hens so they don't have anything to fight over? But then, would they be depressed? Can 3 roosters even live together in the same coop without killing each other?

Afraid I don't know the answer to that. You may want to post on the "gamebird" threads.

They all appear to be male, some type of game birds to me too. Good luck and have fun...

Your options are many.

Keep all three and get no hens "they'll be fine, no worries".
Keep all three and get lots of hens "25 or more".
Keep two and get several hens "15 or more".
Keep one and get a few hens "8 or more".
Keep none of them and start over with chicks "order pullets to ensure you don't get all cockerels".
Keep none of them and get some pullets/hens "5 months old or older to ensure you don't get any males".

If they have a lot of Aseel blood, there is a chance that they will be too aggressive to keep together no matter what you do. My advice is to sell at least two of them, or all of them, and to start over with sexed pullets. It seems a bit much to buy 25 pullets to keep them happy, but it depends on what you want. If you are very attached, then you'll have to see what happens to them, and act accordingly. Luckily, the forums are always open to help.

Thanks again for the advice everybody. I think I will keep all three and get no hens to see what happens. I hope they won't get more aggressive as they mature. I rescued and raised them myself and I really don't want to give them away. Especially since people in my area don't take good care of their chickens at all. They'd basically be half strays if I gave them away.
