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.
Thanks Amy, that is kinda what I am guessing but I am new and these are my first chicks. I can only keep the girls, got a good friend that has been nice enough to take my boys so far. Took her 5 roos last week of the cochins. Of 12 chicks it is looking like I will end up with 4 pullets which...
I have three 4 week old white silkies. Any guesses from the silkie experts?
First is Big Boy (LOL I know but I have always felt is was a boy)
Second is Butterball
Third is my shy one Malberry
My guess has been 3 roos or possibly Malberry is a pullet.

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
I got them all from Ideal. Wanted splashes but wanted the self blues too. Guess the self blues won out in the end. Just wish my little Silkies were as easy now to tell from but of the 3 I really think one is a roo and have since right after I got them. Of course it is the best looking one in...
I ordered blue too and got all splash which was 4 of them and 1 looks like it might be a mottle like the last pic but am still hoping for a black or blue one.
That is what I wanted was splashes but after researching I was hoping to get some by ordering blues. Not that it matters much only...
