My (hopeful) ladies are 4-6 weeks old (wasn't given a clear age when purchased). What do you think? Hens or roos? I know silkies are almost impossible to tell but I attached pictures of ours anyways. The rest are easter eggers. Bonus points for insight on the easter egger's possible breeds they come from..and maybe their age haha

A bit about each:

Pepita (grey): we thought for sure would be our rooster if any because s/he feathered last, had comb bumps earliest and turning red. until this week, s/he was the biggest, tallest standing, and most aggressive/bravest. Clover seems bigger and more confident now

Clover (brown): fights for the top of pecking order and seems confident and got really big in the last week. Bigger than others for sure.. Seems to have a single bump on beak

Daphne (silkie): seems confident and explores away from others, will put up a fight for pecking order

Willow (white spotted): definitely doesn't bother fighting with pecking order, shy like, crouched. Feathered long before others. Smaller than the others. 3 bumps on beak but not turning red.
