Our bantams are growing up. This is our older trio.

We have 2 younger wheaten cockerel and 1 wheaten pullet bantams.

Splash pullet (out of a blue pen)?

Light blue pullet?

Try the tail feather method . Males will have shot tails and females grow a tail faster . They may already be too old for this . I can not tell much about the tails in these pictures .

The tail method has worked for two of my Roos.

We think want to start breeding blues. We believe we have 3 cockerels (one younger). We only want one or two, how do you determine which to get rid of?

LF blue cockerel (pretty sure both of these 2 are cockerels (about 7 weeks) :

The other one (both together actually) :

two blue birds bred together will produce blue, black, and splash.

Go to post 24121 on the previous page and you will see my 5 week old Splash. I think I have a pullet and two roos. The last one, I am pretty sure is a cockerel and
he is the prettiest of the group.

Splashes are not white. White is a separate color from blue/black/splash. Most people recommend not using white with colored birds, as white can hide the "true" color of the bird (has happened to me!) Then, you don't know what you are breeding!

I just want an opinion if these hens are indeed pure blooded Ams.

This hen hatched from an egg marked BBS Am, eggs are light baby blue.

This hen hatched from an eggs marked Wh Am, her eggs are much brighter bolder blue than the first hen.
