6 wk old chick gender help (Marans, Silkie, Frizzle Cochin)

[nturgrlfrnd]

I unexpectedly took in ailing day old chicks after TCS got a shipment in with very few survivors due to the cold weather. These are my first chickens and given the circumstances I had no idea what I was getting. Of my survivors I believe I have a Bantam Frizzle Cochin, a Bantam Silkie, and (according to TCS) 2 Marans. They are now about 5-6 weeks old and I'm really hoping they aren't all roosters... I'd love to hear what you all think!

The silkie and second Maran look like cockerels. The fiest Maran may also be a cockerel, not quite sure.

I don’t know about the silkie, but the rest are cockerels IMO

Marans #1 and the Frizzle Cochin #3 are my favorites and have the BEST personalities, so I really hope one of them is a pullet and I don't have to choose between them :/ The comb on Marans #2 is quite a bit more red than #1, so I'm still hopeful... Unfortunately, I only have enough room for 1 roo.

Agree. First three are cockerels. The silkie will take longer to tell.
