5 Weeks On Monday- Guesses?

[ChickenChick46]

My bantams will be 5 weeks on Monday. Little Gilbert is a cockerel, and I do believe shaping up be a good one. Anyone have thoughts on my other 3?

I've got:

Picture 1- Gilbert, Porcelain d'Uccle up front and Rilla, Golden Sebright in back

2nd picture- Anne, Red Cochin

3rd Picture- Shirley, OEGB but still unsure on color.

I know it's still a little soon, but I feel like maybe we're getting close, so I thought I'd ask. Thank you everyone!

Shirley is getting female specific colors. A roo would be getting black breast feathers

Frequently when we're outside, Gilbert stands back while the rest dust bathe or settle in for a nap. He's always on alert. I hope this means that he'll be a good rooster as he grows up. And if it also points to the other 3 being pullets, that's great too, lol.

Thank you so much! Do you think she's a BB Red?

I have some very skittish OEGB, a pair . . . 6 weeks old and can't really tell which breed they are.

Shirley here is quite friendly still. She's my calmest and I'm not sure if that's good to land her at the bottom of the pecking order.

My friendliest and smallest pullet is top chicken. She comes out of her nest box everyday to take care of herself and remind all the other pullets she's still in charge . .then goes back to sitting.

Edit: I guess I should say she's the friendliest to people . . .not so much the other pullets.
