Gender Confusion!!

[LovejoyHomestead]

Hi all! We are new to backyard chickens and bought our girl from a local farmer this past spring. They are approaching 4 months old and about 1 week ago we introduced a new hen to the flock. The next morning we had 3 chickens CROWING!! I do not know for certain, but I think we have some roosters on our hands. Can anyone confirm or deny? I have attached photos of the suspected 3 roosters. Thank you all in advance!!!

The first two are cockerels and wow they are beautiful! I'm not sure on the silkie, sorry. But if you heard crowing, I think it's a male too.

Thank you so much!! We have to get rid of our pretty boys only 7 hens and 3 roosters. Not a good ratio!!

Yeah, unless you got more girls 1 or 2 good tempered cockerels would be fine for that many pullets.

I'm not sure about the silkie, but the two others are roosters.

If you have too many roosters you might want to read my article: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/rooster-flocks.72998/

Agree with all, first two are Cockerels, unsure about the Silkie.

First two are cockerels, wait until you see the Silkie crow in person before you can confirm, I think it could be a hen. Sorry you have to get rid of them. Hope they can find good homes.
