So I might be giving myself false hope but after watching this video on YouTube I feel like they are all females. The silky chickens at least. The black chickens I know two are male and one or female
Just kidding but not really, Ive never owned Batman before I mean Bantams before and i have no clue what i am looking at or what i am looking for to determine their sex. I can tell by now with other breads. Can you help?

I could be wrong but I am hoping it's the chicken that has weird calcium bumped eggs. The...
