Do I have Hens or Roosters?

[Bertram]

I think all are pullets but I need an age to be certain. They look old enough that they should be showing some hackles/saddles if they were male.

Were these from a factory farm? All of them appear to have been debeaked.

I bought them from a pet shop 2 weeks ago they told me they are all hens, and is that bad ? That they debeaked them?

They may have some trouble eating, but they will likely be okay. Although the one with the crossbeak will need extra help. Debeaking is an inhumane procedure, so I would not buy directly from anyone who does this.

They all look like pullets to me- how old??? bcuz the comb and wattles on one of them looks a little fishy to me, even though all it's feathers are hen feathers.

Yes hopefully they are all pullets, I don’t know their age but by the looks of them they look pretty small to me in person does that me they can all be roos?

Yes! Hopefully they are pullets I don’t know their age but in person they look pretty small because the camera makes them look like giants

I'm thinking all are pullets getting close to point of lay.

Yess!! Hopefully your right but I don’t know if they’ll be laying, in person the birds are smaller the camera make them look like giants

Yeah, their combs are pretty small yet. I'm guessing they're probably 14-15 weeks or so.

If they were cockerels I would expect them to have bigger combs and dark wing bars like the boy in your profile pic. Their legs also look pretty dainty for their size; cockerels' feet usually look way too big for them

Oh man thanks for letting me know I didn’t know this
