Yikes! Lots of cockerels?

[v101mp]

Here are my 7ish week old chickies! Supposedly, 5 are Cochins and 2 are D’Uccles (2 little brown ones). I know Alfalfa, “F” in the picture, is definitely a cockerel. I’m starting to get worried that a lot of the other ones are as well, at least 3 others have me REALLY worried. What do y’all think? Thanks in advance for your time!

Your d’uccles are actually booted bantams. E and G look like the only pullets.

Birds B,A,C maybe D and definitely F look like cockerels. And those look like booted bantams Instead of d’Uccles, no beard and F has wattles. They’re all so cute.

Thanks! Y’all confirmed exactly what I was thinking...Those 4 were the ones I suspected to be boys as well. We just lost our only rooster, so we can keep one. How to decide??? I hate that we will have to rehome the rest. If only chickens could be monogamous!

If only! It would save so much heartache of having to rehome or cull you sweet favorite little guys.
