Thank you! Yea I guessing I am try to tell way to early. Would have been great to be able to just order pullets in the bantams but I sure wasn't able to find any place that sexed them.
Time will tell all things I am sure and being that my friend has the ones I think are boys, should...

Yea talked to a breeder today that said she would sell me pullets this fall so I don't have to worry. Will probably be better quality as well. To hot now to get anything so happy that this breeder is willing to hold on to a few pullets for me until fall......well AZ fall is October. :o

I think it is a pullet compared to the roos that I had.
These were last weeks pictures and their combs are a lot more red and much bigger than Blackberry's, I know the picture don't show it but her comb still has a yellow tint to it but when you live in this extreme heat of AZ it is...
It's my luck they are 3 roos. Have watched them all three run at each other and bump chests. More so with Big Boy and Butterball but have seen Mulberry do it on one occasion. But I knew it was the roll of the dice ordering in 12 chicks. Just happy that my favorite cochin seems to be a pullet.
These are my very first chickens. I can't keep a roo here hence the main reason I am trying to figure out my pullets from the roos.
I was really wanting a few silkie pullets but I guess my luck is showing
At what age will I know for sure? Was hoping that I would have at least 5 pullets but if these are all roos that will leave me with just 3 pullets out of the bunch.

I have three 4 week old white silkies. Any guesses from the silkie experts?

Anyone in the Phoenix area interested in 3 week old self blue/lavender or blue cochin roos?
I have 3 self blue/lavender roos
and 2 blue roos
I order these from Ideal but only needed a few.
Here is my Lavender cochin bantam babies.
Here they were only 1 day old
These are the roos at 3 weeks old
These are the pullets at 3 weeks old.
My first babies so will be fun to see how they grow up to look like.
Update of 4 week old pullet
