OE and the little black one are the only two pullets.
She (and her sister) were sold to me as Creme legbars, but at 8/9 weeks old, I have yet to see any crests lol, I'm not fussy about the breed, I'm just glad they are hopefully females!
 
Update day! It's been another 2 weeks since the last picture update. Here they are, at 12 weeks old. No crowing yet, but some of the larger lads are getting fancy tails coming in now! The only Roo looking bird I have some hope for maybe being a hen is the Big Grey one (4th pic down), from looking at the saddle feathers that are coming in under the wings/base of the tail, they are all coming in round, unlike all the other ones with large red combs, but I'm not too hopeful, it still screams roo from that comb! It's also quite a bit smaller than the 3 other large ones. Let me know what you guys think.

The little black one is the friendliest little beaut, I've named her Cookie <3

She's hardly got any tail, it kind of rounds off at the end, any ideas on why she's got such a small tail? Is it a breed trait? :) She's also obsessed with coming in the house 🤣

She is pretty 😊. She may just be slow feathering. Her purple iridescent feathers are beautiful.
