All roos I'm afraid.....

My silkie cochin mix chicks are now 3 weeks old and I'm pretty sure they are all roos. Not the outcome I had hoped for as I already have one bantam roo with 4 full size hens

I don’t see any indication of them being cockerels. Wait a few weeks and repost them.

I'm basing a good bit of my assumption on some roo like behavior I've been seeing from all three. I would be ecstatic to be wrong!!!!!

what behavior are you referring to? They are only 3 wks old

They are acting just like my bantam roo did. Standing upright most of the time , coming forward to investigate instead of hiding in a corner when I approach the brooder, and they don't shut up! Lol. My Lil Bit was my mouthiest chick.

Sounds like almost every chick I've ever had. And I've never had a cockerel.

I hope you get your hens!! When one of my hens went broody last year, she sat on 4 eggs...and I ended up with 3 roos and 1 hen. This time Mama is sitting on 9 eggs...hopefully I'll get at least 3 hens!
