Bantam silkies and polish sex?

[JaceAgain]

You can only vent sex a chicken in the first 24 hours, and never a bantam breed as it can seriously harm them.

I would definitely take 2 pullets in the polish. What I don't want is a bunch of mean little Roos. I would even be happy with pairs. One of the little silkies has been a mean little bugger since the day we brought it home. It will bite every time you reach for it. It will be the one to go if I only have to get rid of one. The polish are very skittish, but once you pick them up, they are mellow as can be. One of them sits on the ledge of the crate we have them in and watches over the others. So far my favorite is my little mille fleur d'Uccle bantam. It will sit up on my shoulder and just hang out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed she's a she.

I really wish I could help you, but I don't even know what mine are.

Looks like a cockerel to me.
