White Polish (Dipsy)

Red Polish (Tequila)

Salmon Faverolle (Chewy)

Black Silkie (Raven)

They are all about 7 weeks old except the Polish who are almost 6 weeks. I hope only one (if that!) is a roo. That's all my town allows.

The Faverolle is a cockerel  The others need more time, but for you I would be much happier if the topknots on the Polish were more rounded.  hide.gif

I thought my white's was rounded? It was the Red who I was more worried about. I CAN keep ONE rooster in my town, but I hope I don't have 4! These are not all of my birds, only the ones I was worried about.

Any other advice? Please! I understand the Silkie is too young, but I need help with the others!

I can't post pics from my iPad, however, I can tell you the results.
White Polish- Pullet
Red Polish- Cockerel
Faverolle- Pullet
Silkie- still not sure, I am leaning towards cockerel, but can't be certain.

Very interesting. I also have a 7 weeks faverolle pullet that looks a bit like yours, with some "extra" black feathers, so i was wondering!
