Bantam Genders & Breeds

[EggShel]

Hi! My bantams are 4 to 5 weeks old (we got them feb 6), and a couple im fairly confident in and others im clueless on. We have 8. Thanks in advance!

#1 Golden Seabright. This one is super flighty, and was and still is noticeably smaller than the rest. Clean legs. Pullet?

#2 I thought this one was a silver seabright but the comb doesn't match. Clean legs. Pullet?

#3 This one has looked like a frizzle from day one. Little down fluff legs. Pullet?

#4 The friendliest of the bunch. Feathered legs. Partridge cochin? Pullet?

#5 Brahma? Very feathery feet. Was the first feathers he got so he looked goofy for a bit. Cockrell?

#6 Clean legs. All black with darker skin. Has always had a raspier cheep than the rest. Rose comb. Cockrell. D'anver?

#7 This one is the LOUDEST. It voices its displeasure at everything. Clean legs. No idea what it is tho. Very stout and sturdy one. White laced red cornish maybe?

#8 Featherless baby. He only has wings and not too many of those. Does have feathered feet. Cockrell, perhaps, just based on its lack of feathers but no clue on breed. Brahma?

1 Gold Sebright, Too early to sex.

2 Silver Sebright. Single combs can happen with hatchery Sebrights. Probably female.

3 Probably a frizzle red Cochin bantam. Probably female.

4 Partridge Cochin. If there are any solid black breast feathers, then it is male. Looks female to me.

5 Millie Fleur D'Uccle bantam, probably male.

6 Either black Belgian bantam or black Rosecomb bantam. Big comb, so probably a male.

7 white laced red Cornish bantam. Too early to sex, I think.

8 Probably a dark Brahma but could be an Easter egger bantam. Too early to sex.

I think it's going to take another couple of weeks at least to sex these with any degree of accuracy.

1) Gold laced Sebright, looks like a pullet.

2) Silver laced Sebright, looks like a pullet. Single combs are not uncommon in hatchery birds.

3) Frizzled red Bantam Cochin, looks like a pullet.

4) Partridge Cochin, looks like a pullet.

5) Millie Fleur d'Uccle, cockerel.

6) Black Rosecomb bantam, likely a cockerel.

7) White laced red Cornish bantam. Too early to sex with any sort of accuracy.

8) Dark Brahma, looking like a pullet.

All of these are about a week to 2 weeks younger than we like to see them when sexing. Post updated pics in 2 weeks.

*update*
These are current pics as of Mar 24. I got these chick feb 7th. They're about 7 weeks old. Sorry I can't get a good pic of #5. That chicken isn't all that personable.
