What gender are my chickens?

[90sCountryChickens]

We have 5 chickens wondering if we can get help on what gender they are.

They are all about 8 weeks old.

They were free, barnyard mixes we suppose, but any comments on breeds would be appreciated too.

(We can get additional pictures if needed)

The white one in the first pic is the only one that looks like it may be a pullet, I think the rest are cockerels.

All are cockerels except the white one in the first picture.

Number 1 is your only pullet.

x5, the first white one is the only pullet

Lots of handsome boys! Agree with the rest, the white is the only pullet

No! That's what we were afraid of (and convinced with #5 since he's crowing). But really appreciate the input!

We're inexperienced with chickens, want them for eggs & as pets, and have 2 kids, so we were not planning on keeping any boys. Couple questions then:

How long until we need them gone to avoid aggression or stress to the one pullet?

We'll try to get a few more, hopefully sexed, chicks. Tips on integrating with her?

Any other advice appreciated, thank you!

I'd rehome them asap, no point in keeping them around. If you find some pullets the same age integration should be pretty easy since they're so young. Do you have some pics of your setup?
