Possible Roosters?

[StaceyL.RDH]

Again, bought these guys thinking I was only getting hens and today they started crowing. Do I actually have roosters? I have one buff Orpington and two australorps. I have to figure it out because I only have 11 hens. #toomanyboys

All cockerels.

Do you have any knowledge about separating one from the rest of the flock? He’s grown up with the other roosters and hens but I’m afraid 3 roosters for my 12 hens is too many. I have someone that can take him but I don’t want him to be lonely. Thanks for your help

He will be fine. It will take him some time to adjust to his new home but he will be fine.

Could you post closer pictures of their saddle feathers?

You might want to look into starting a rooster-only flock. Here's an article about it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/rooster-flocks.72998/
