Just kidding but not really, Ive never owned Batman before I mean Bantams before and i have no clue what i am looking at or what i am looking for to determine their sex. I can tell by now with other breads. Can you help?

Those look like Silky bantams, or just plain Silkies. They're harder to tell than other breeds for me...but here I'll send u a link to another BYC thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...s-pictures-and-tips-updated-july-5-12.609085/

U can look at the thread for yourself, but the one in the middle looks most like a hen to me, and the one on the right looks kinda like a rooster. It would help if we got a sideways profile of the one on the left, and a close-up view of the combs, (if they have any at this point).

hmmm...that one looks like he may be a male too because he looks like he might have streamers forming in the back of his head. But I can't be sure about any of them. Did you view the thread I posted a link to?

So I might be giving myself false hope but after watching this video on YouTube I feel like they are all females. The silky chickens at least. The black chickens I know two are male and one or female
