Hi all...this lot are about 14 weeks old (asked before but was too early) as I think I have 3 roosters and 1 pullet and need to start thinking of housing arrangements if that is the case.

Hoping the photos are ok, I tried my hardest. The brown, black and Silkie x all have very small combs at present (could't get photos)

Grey one is a boy, crowing already and has had big combs and wattles for weeks - early developer that one.

Brown silkie - Zoe
Black silkie - Pixie
Black silkie x arucana Pompom (this is the only one I think may be a girl).

Zoe looks like a girl based on size of Crest feathers and lack of saddle feathers. Pom pom has a hen like body but need head shot. Does pixie have wattles yet.? With silkies sometimes that can be first telltale sign.

They are all beautiful, especially Pompom! Is she laying? Just curious what color her eggs turned out.
Thanks
