Hi there. My chicks turned 7 weeks old today, and I was wondering if you had any guesses for their genders? My best guess is the polish & speckled sussex are pullets, and I think the black silkie may be a pullet and the grey a cockerel? I say that because the grey silkie has a noticably larger comb, although he/she is the smallest of all of them, so I'm not sure.

The crest on your black silkie made me laugh! 😂 Juvenile birds are so odd looking sometimes!
