4.5 Week bantam chicks: roos or pullets?

[Osofluffy]

Hi! This is my first posting . We have a variety of Bantams (totaling 9) that 4.5 weeks old & I am noticing differences between the ones that have a matching pair. Will you please tell me if you think they are roos or pullets?

First up: Mille Fleur Bearded D'uccle Bantam. I think the one on the left is a roo. The other 3 chicks look like the one on the right.

Next up: White Crested Black Polish Bantams
I think the one on the left is a roo. Look at the size difference and the red under the beak.

Last set is Black Frizzle Cochin Bantams
The left one isn't very frizzley lol and I think it is a roo with the red comb. The one on the right has the Frizzle feathers .

Last one is a white Silkie named Snow. I have no one to compare her (hopefully) to. She is pretty large though compared to the other Bantam breeds.

Thank you for all your help

For the brahmas I see a boy and girl. For the polish hestiantly say both girls. For the Cochins, the one on the left looks like a boy. The silkie is too young.

It looks like you are correct with genders, but at 6 weeks it’s a more reliable age to tell gender. The silkie is way too young.

I was correct on the polish bantam . He is 6.5 weeks old & crowed already for the first time this morning. It is an awkward crow but still a crow. Einstein is no longer Einstella.

Are you able to keep him? The first crow is always the funniest.

Not in my town sadly but my in laws have a large farm in Wisconsin& offered to add him to their family of chickens. They have bantam coop with ample space. We visit multiple times a week so we would still help take care of him.

That’s good that you have somebody to give him to! It’s nice that you get to visit.
