They're so young yet, LOL. But if I do it next spring or so, I'll definitely post pictures

It wouldn't be a chicken that breeds true just like that, you'd get a lot of strange stuff. I believe Silkies with Sultans really look a lot like Sultans, but again, probably wouldn't breed true without a lot of work.

Ohh yeah. Because I have two white sultans. One rooster and one hen.

This is what I meant earlier.

You need to post pictures in the Sultan thread!! Both these threads need more activity, LOL. I get lonely, but I have Seramas, which are super popular, so that I don't get completely alone on the threads,

I absolutely, at 10 weeks, still can not tell at all if I have boys or girls?! I did see one of them spar a bit with another, but I can't tell if that was aggressive male action, or just hen pecking? The two older leghorn hens have done the same thing to the younger ones. So I'm still in the dark?!? And I really want to know, do I have 4 Roosters, 4 hens or some kind of mixture?!? Ugh!

I just went out to feed the crevies and leghorns and I heard one of them do a strangled semi crow! So I do believe one of them is a boy! I didn't see who it was though But it's gotta be the biggest one with the largest and most red in it's wattles. Do the girls get red in their wattles? There are 2 others that have red in small wattles (just slightly swollen looking from nothing) and one that I see no red at all yet. That last one is less than half the size of the others (I think she's a runt?) and 2 are a bit smaller than the one I suspect. Still, all of their crests look the same to me! So frustrating! 11 weeks old today and I still don't know

I'll go take pictures and post soon

Ok, any help verifying my conclusions is appreciated (and more so if you can say, no your wrong, it's a pullet, LOL) They're really messy because I'm now feeding them fermented feed, and they just make an unholy mess of it!

Here are what I think are cockerels. They are 11 weeks old today.

Number 1

This one is the one on the far right of the picture below and I'm kind of hoping it might be a pullet... wishful thinking though, eh? All their crests are messy looking though.........?

2


Also 2


3 (my largest bird)


Here are all 4 of them checking out the dog

The 3rd from the left is the one I think is a pullet

This is the one I think is a pullet:





Her crest does look more tidy today than the others from behind (though they're all getting food everywhere) Not much color in her face either.
