8 week old gender questions for BCM, silkie, and whiting true blue, where my breed experts at??!

I was thinking I had only one maran roo but now starting to question everything can anyone help? I know it’s quite early.

Both Marans are cockerels.

That third black bird in the back of pic 5 is likely a cockerel as well if it's the same age.

Oh god lol thank you

Agreed. Marans are boys. Too early to tell with the silkie. WTB appears to be female.

Ughh nooo lol you still think they are roos even though the one(pic 6) has completely different colouring on his head than the others?

Sorry, that much comb and wattle in an 8 week old can only mean cockerel.

The one with the biggest, reddest comb is certainly a cockerel that is developing quickly.

But cockerels can also develop more slowly, and it looks like you have some of them too
(Even the slow cockerels tend to have more comb & wattles than pullets of the same age.)
