n all three of my little girls


Henny Penny the youngest and the one i am most worried about



gracie the biggest and the funny one




Ruby Rose my little girl aka the boss

Because I can't have a rooster in my neighbor hood

I agree that Henny Penny looks like a rooster with that big ol comb. Your little partridge in the first picture could be a boy too with all of those reddish feathers. Girls *usually* stay a more even, demur brown while the boys are a nice, flashy red.

Thanks for the help I will swap him at the breeders, it's sad because he new his name and came to me in the mornings I guess some things are ment to happen.

from The looks of it you may have all boys. Ruby rose looks pretty boyish due to the slicked back crest. females usually have more of a pom pom. any of the three can you see developed wattles yet. If so then most likely boys.

ID say ruby Rose is a boy, he looks just like my milly, who turned into billy and started crowing!! He had to go back also! but thats the only one im sure of. I also have silkies. the girls have a huge pom pom on the head round as a circle. its hard to tell while its developing, but my bet would be Ruby Rose is definetaly a male. Best wishes!!

I agree, looks like all boys

 

[Pjsmithsparky]

That's so disappointing I came to know them all and all their personallys

Good and bad news ruby is a boy for sure big wattle and comb and the same with penny but they haven't started crowing and Gracie is a girl, it's funny because they cluck then they cheep so I hear a wird mix sometimes.
