We have been raising chickens for just a year and this is our second batch of chicks (we expanded our coop). We went straight run and these little chicks are now about six weeks old. We have one we know for certain is a rooster (he crows every morning) but these four are still undetermined. Any help would be appreciated! The first one we think is a hen, she's very, very tiny. The second white one is a silkie and I have no idea how to tell. The black one is a "frizzy" and the last one is a brama- all bantams.












 
Thank you for the help :) That Frizzy rooster is the sweetest thing you've ever seen and super good natured so I think he's a keeper :) Our other rooster is a mottled cochin and he crows like the dickens at six weeks,lol. I am really grateful for the help!
 
I agree, the frizzle looks like a rooster to me. With silkies it takes forever to be sure, at some point they either crow or not ;-)
Rest looks like pullets to me.
 
The first one is a sure-fire hen.
I'm not sure about the White Silkie. Silkies are very hard to sex. With most it's best to wait for a tell-tale sign of sex- a crow or an egg.
The frizzle is definitely a cockerel.
The Brahma is definitely a hen.
