we gathered a few eggs from our chicks and got a few silkie eggs from a friend and I’m not sure what breed they are aside from the silkies and I’m HORRIBLE at guessing whether we have hens or roosters; last time I guessed we had a hen silkie and it started crowing a few months ago. 😂
I’m just trying to identify them as early as possible because we have no need for more roosters.
We have black sex linked hens and a few buffs and 2 road runner looking hens.

I had a baby in my arms taking these pictures so I get it if they aren’t any kind of quality to help identify them. the last picture is of our rooster.

they hatched Jan 1st of this year.

I think they *might* be mostly all pullets, could be wrong though. I suck at guessing genders.
I appreciate you even taking a guess! I would be so HAPPY to get even 75% pullets. 😂
I find it so hard! I look at pictures online and it makes it even more difficult for me.
 
Your buff/orange silkie *might* be a cockerel but honestly they look all like pullets to me for now : D
I appreciate the guess!! I would be okay with that! I was so upset, we originally hatched 6 silkies and a coon found a way in a small crack we didn’t notice and got 4 of this batch (we started with 10) so now we’re down to these 6. I’m crossing my fingers we got majority pullets and the coon didn’t leave us with all roosters somehow.
 
The partridge silkie pictured doesn’t have any red on its shoulders, which you would expect with a cockerel this color. Do you have any updated photos?😊
Best you can and clear natural lighting.

I just seen this, but I will get one ASAP and share it! Thank you :)
