I'm going to apologize ahead of time for so many pics & so many questions, if your confused I'll definately try to clear things up LOL, there's just so many!! Thanks yall....

BREED QUESTION: Here is my Cross Silkie, her momma was a true silkie, daddy coulda been an OE or Faverolle?...



LORP SEXING QUESTIONS: #1 (my 6 Australorps)



#1 :) prettiest I think#4 (oz)
I"m pretty sure from left to right that #4 (the smallest one is a roo, he's getting lil wattles & his combs pretty big for 4 wks)


BANTAM SEXING #2: Bantam OE mixes....
Going from left to right #4 (lil brat),5(angel) were the only gold ones at birth, the right 1's still mostly light gold, I think they're all hens, except maybe #4. #2 is the cross silkie mix, #3 (BB) is totally black except her middle front there & slightly dark dark brown on top, #1 is my fav so decorated looking..
Here's #1 "Crusty"
#4 "Lil Brat" (#6 Fudge BR mix also on right)
#5 angel, #4 Lil brat, #3 BB

SEXING CROSS BARRED ROCKS (Breeding too if yall think yall know, some are JG, some prod red maybe?):

From Left to right: #1 (Galaxy) only one with barred markings, short wings prolly a roo.., #4 (Blondie) still almost totally blonde, #5 (Nosy) prolly a roo :( black wing markings coming in fast along w/wattles/comb, & #6 (Fudge) definately has its JG's daddy's feet, some black on top. (more pics below of each)....



All 5 of these pics are of #5 Nosy growing up..(in the 2nd pic is #5 angel bantam from above perching & under her is #5 lil brat), & in the 4th pic is #4 Lil Brat from bantams up above, and #3 BB is also above.

#5 Nosy, #4 Blondie, #6 Fudge

#6 Fudge (I know u can't see much)
#5 Blondie, still hardly any black
Here is the 3 BR mixes & my pure JG. Left to right #1 is Domino, #2 Galaxy, #3 Jersey, #4 Fighter
700



#1 Domino, #2 Galaxy, #3 Jersey, #4 Fighter

#1 Domino, #4 from above Fighter


#2 Galaxy at 2 wks...& growing...

I really wanted it to be a hen but I doubt it is :(....

I have 18 chicks now that are a month old....all of them here, 1 JG, 5 bantams (eggs from friend), 6 Lorps (eggs off ebay), & 6 BR mixes (eggs from friend).
 
i see some that look like cockerels but i would wait at least another 2-3 weeks

Yea I know there's plenty of cockerals, I'm definately for sure 4 outta the 5 bantams are pullets, Lil Brat might not be, but it has the biggest comb not that that means much yet.
I know at least 2 of the Lorps are cockerals, & I'm pretty sure at least 3 of the 6 BR mixes are cockerals, the jersey's definatly a hen, so outta 18, I guess I'll have about 6 cockerals on a good day lol and maybe like 8 or 9 on a bad day lol, which techincally is good odds, we usually get more boys
