16 week old Silkie x

[Bluesilkies]

Are these guys girls or boys? Not laying or crowing yet.
They are Silkie (mum) x with frizzle Easter egger (araucana in NZ)

My thoughts, which is just a guess, is the white one is a girl, maybe the red is a girl and the multi colour is a boy?

The photos posted out of order. Pic 1 and 3 are the same chicken as well as pic 2 and 4. The last 3 are the same chicken.

All have small combs, but I'm still suspicious of the chick in the 1st and 3rd pictures because of the deep red/brown shoulders. That one has more red on the face than the other two as well. So I think that one is a cockerel, and the other two are pullets. But this is an unusual cross and kind of difficult to tell, so I would hold off on a final judgement for a few more weeks.

It is a strange mix, wasn’t intentional. My other frizzle rooster (dad to my araucana frizzle) passed away when my now Rooster was just a baby, so I had to keep this boy. It has made sexing them very challenging.
I still miss my old boy

These two Muppets are cockerels. The rest appear to be pullets.

They are beautiful. I like strange mixes! Just makes sexing a bit more difficult because there's nothing to compare them with.

Is it the red on the wings that make you say that? I suspect a cockerel with him because he doesn’t really have a tail whereas the white one has a very formed fluff tail

Yes, I have had two other babies from him and a Silkie. One is frizzle the other a stream lined Silkie. I was convinced they were both boys, always fighting each other, until they laid eggs. Also my rooster was so tolerant with them. He is very tolerant with this lot though and there are some very obvious boys in this group.

Red on the wings and I can see some saddles.
