Compost King

It has been a long time since I shared pictures in here so I took some today
American serama thread!
- Thread starter miss heny
- Start date
I also took some pics of my September hatches. Mostly pullets
and a boy
I also have 2 silkied males in with this batch. The little Sept boy above has a bigger comb than the July boy. So strange.... unless it's a pullet & I'm wrong. Tell me what you think about the genders in the post below.

Here are the 2 silkied. I'm leaning toward 2 boys ..... but still not 100% sure.
What do you think??
Sept Boy = 6 weeks old
As you can see, my seramas are normally easy to sex.
July ???? Boy (or large combed female with wattles) = 15 weeks old
"He" looks male, but the comb is tiny - especially for the age. Looked more female for the 1st 7-8 weeks, then the comb turned pink & tiny wattles developed. Because "he" was so tiny, I put him in with the Sept chicks. My broody silkie hen adopted ALL the chicks.

Took some serama pics yeserday. Yes, they are in a bedroom. Doesn't everyone keep a couple chickens in the bedroom?
Probably going to keep this girl below. She loves to snuggle. Her biological mom was an expensive show serama (which we "borrowed")
I'm going to sell her 1/2 sister below. Her mom is also a show chicken, but the woman decided to let my kids keep the stunning little black hen.
These seramas are outside with Xansie (our broody silkie hen)
Below is Mr Squeaky. If Teddy will allow it, I want to keep this guy.
Below is the male who hatched July 18th. It took forever for me to be certain about his gender. He's very small, but I'm now finally sure he's a boy.
