Got some chicks from rural king today, and I'm questioning what this one could be. It was in the bin with midnight majesty marans, and the RR employee said it's production blue (but there was a bin labeled as production blue that looked much different). I think it's a week or 2 old, and I...
Is it too early to sex silkies at this age? The white is a week older than the rest, but they're all about 3.5 months old.
1 - White - oldest, I think pullet? Very neat hairdo, I don't see any wattles but this one is bearded I think?
2 - Partridge/buff - youngest at 14 weeks. Most confident...
These guys were all in a rural King bin that claimed "Assorted Cochin bantams" with another LF breed (red something but I'm not sure as I was focusing on the bantams). They are quite clearly not all Cochins, any ideas? Are any of these possibly d'Uccles?
Sorry about the quality of the pics, I...
I know it's probably too early for Polish, but I have zero experience with them and I'm getting some rooster vibes from the white crested blue. They are almost 6 weeks old. I think the silver laced looks like a pullet so far. They're both pretty weird. 😂
These were from the assorted bantam bins at TSC and RK. I'm pretty sure I've ID'd the breeds correctly.
First one is the oldest at 6 weeks, bantam Cochin frizzle. I think pullet on this one, really hope the tiny wattles aren't a bad sign.
#2 bantam mottled Cochin. This one is just over 5 weeks...

I think I know the answer to my question, but I read on here that some people had "early bloomers" of this hybrid/breed with big combs that ended up being girls. I couldn't find any photos of those wrongfully suspected roos, and I'm wondering if there's still a chance here. This is a starlight...
I bought both of these as day old chicks, and I've been going back and forth on sex. At one point, I was convinced both are little cockerels, but now I'm not sure. Pretty positive the black one is a boy, any chance the blue might be a girl?

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I've had 2-4.chickens years ago, but then lived in apartments for the last 5 years. Just bought a house in March and immediately got chickens again !
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
10, but we'll see how many stay. We...
