If Aphrodite turns out to be Ares (a boy) and you decide to rehome him. Please let me know. He/She is awesome looking!

I'm pretty sure I have a cockerel. But my god is he a pretty one. I'll try to take pictures of everyone this evening.

A bit late cause I didn't have time to edit the pictures but here they finally are. I'm pretty sure most if not all of the project chicks are cockerels.

Aphrodite I'm 98% sure is a cockerel. Continuing to look gorgeous though. Those leg feathers are so long now. Even longer than in this picture.

If anyone's a pullet it's probably Alouette.

They're so sweet too. The silkies are much more wary of me. That only makes me think they're all cockerels even more, since cockerels are always sweeter as chicks.

Rehomed the three paints, so now I'm left with four.

I'm currently suspicious of Zeus being a cockerel. Zeus is probably the only one of the Silkies I'd consider keeping if he turned out to be a cockerel. I'm trying to select for smaller/no vaults and better toes. I'm not as hard on the pullets I keep, but my cockerels have to be the best I can get. I'm interested to see him grow up.
