We live in an area that does not allow us to keep roosters. We got these lovely chooks from a local chicken grower who tried his best to pick "Hens" only. But he can't (of course noone can) guarantee that they will be... we haven't heard any crowing at all so far. Their combs did not grow much since we got them but getting slightly more pinkish I think. Except sessex B has tiny bit of wattle growth but not much comb growth compare to sussex A.

Last photo is our new chicken coop made out of recycled timber and material except the mash. Took us to build 3 weekends but very happy with it.

Love to hear other experts opinion about our lovely 7 chooks...hen or rooster?. Thank you so much in advance.
 
I'm positive everyone except the silkie is female, and I'm pretty sure on her also, just not as familiar with sexing them this early.
 
I think they are all pullets even the silkie but, would like to see a face forward shot, with crest held back or with rubber band, so I can see the full extent of the comb. Beautiful bird.
