6 Week Old Chicks Breed and Gender??

[Three Little Bunnies]

Hi! I posted some pics when my chicks were four weeks old, now they are six weeks and I would like to double check the breed and gender of these guys.

Dorothy

Cherie (or Minibar, since s/he looks like a mini version of my Barred Rocks, with feathery feet)

Emily

Jenny Honey (she's named after the teacher in Roald Dahl's Matilda)

1- red sex link pullet
2- barred cochin cockerel
3- gold laced cochin cockerel
4- buff cochin pullet

Middle two are boys I'm pretty sure, and the other two are girls.

Is there a reason the third chick would have a smaller comb and wattles than the second chick if they are both cockerels?

They might grow at different speeds. Or maybe he will always have a slightly smaller comb. But he's definitely a boy. A very handsome one though.

Thanks! Would it be okay to keep these four chicks with my thirteen hens when they are older? Would fourteen standard hens and one bantam hen be enough for two bantam roosters?

Probably. You should have a backup plan, though, if it doesn’t work out, such as a separate pen to put the two roos, even if it’s temporary.

Thanks! I could probably use the coop I currently am using for the four chicks for naughty roosters if I need to!
