Hi! I have a Easter Egger (Cadburry), a Buff Orpington (Nugget), a Wellsummer (Coco) and two Silkies white one is Kanute and the black one is Kubba! They are so fun, they are growing so fast! I love my new little family members

I have never had any Wellsummers, but I really want some dark brown eggs!

I love my EE and BO Silkies are ..

I hope they are all female as stated because I would not be able to keep a rooster. Any tips on how to tell?

Mealworms and scrambled eggs, yogurt on occasion.

The way you can sex them is to wait for comb development, or crowing and egg laying! Post pics. The Silkies are VERY difficult to sex for the first few months.

I would wait a few weeks and take a new picture. Your chicks are too young to sex. There are a few breeds you can tell the sex at one day old (sex links, Welsummers..), and a few you can tell at a few weeks old...especially if the rooster is a different color than the hen (the feathers come in darker). Buff Orpingtons can be difficult to sex, I can attest to that...but it still takes weeks to see comb development, etc. Also, I took the advice to not introduce "treats" until after their first week or two of life. Not sure what others on BYC do.
