Hi so I'm try to determine if I have all hens or not. So I bought 4 chick on May 7th but they were between 2 to 4 weeks old at the time. I have 4 different breeds: Silkie, Naked Neck, Mixed Farm(black one), and a Easter Egger. The youngest is the Silkie and oldest is the Easter Egger. When I asked what breed the black one was they just said it was a farm mixed breed. But idk she's really pretty solid black from head to toe with feathers on feet and poofy hat.

I've been tried to determine if they're all hens or not by feathers & combs. I bought them from a run.

What do you think hens or no? And what breed does the black one look like?

Looks like all but the EE are silkie/silkie mix (black skin combined with feathered feet and crests). The NN looks like a showgirl satin silkie. Agree with the other post re: cockerel(s)
