Anyone want to indulge me and guess if I have some Roos?

Can you take a picture of all 3 Orps together? That would really help me to decide-I have some that are the same age as yours (same colors, in the same playyard, with Silkies-and RP turkeys, and Runner Ducks!) and I am sure one is a pullet and one a roo. Let me see if I can get a pic of mine.....
Pullets combs will be very pale pink, while a roo will have a larger, darker comb.

Here you are-I hope you can see it well enough. I didn't have anyone to help me with them. The roo is on the left-obviously!

I got them from a breeder, they have feathered feet and 5 toes, so I'm pretty sure they are. I'm not sure what straight feathers means (Im a newbie) Do they look totally different than Silkie chicks should?

There are lots of breeds that have feathered feet and 5 toes You may have silkie mixes though. Straight feathers are hard feathers-silkies have whispy feathering like cotton balls. Is the skin on the two chicks totally black-beak and all? Thats a start. If you can take closer photos of the two chicks we miht be able to identify the breed for you?

Comparatively, the one on the left looks to be a roo and the one on the right a pullet. Only time will tell for sure.

This is as good of a pic as I can get of the three of them...

...Im thinking Roo/Hen/Could Go Either Way. Its tough thought because I've heard wattles early = Roo yet slow feathering = Roo. One has early wattles and feathering like the hen, the other has slow feathering yet the wattles and comb arent as pronounced.

Thanks for the pic Heather!! Cute!

My possible Roo's comb is no way near as pink/red as yours is, not even close. Interesting...

I have no clue about the sex, but they sure are cute!

For reference here is my silkie at 7 weeks in the picture... Her head is ugly right now so don't look at it lol. She doesn't have regular chicken feathers, they are more like hair kind of.

I'm thinking the one on the left is your little roo. Is that the same one as in your first pic on this thread?

The middle one is a pullet-other two are roos.
