Any idea what type and gender? Thanks!

I think they are Australorp chickens. Especially after seeing the roosters streaks of colorful/shiny feathers. My sister-in-law has one, and yours look EXACTLY the same. I don't think they are silkies because silkies are super fluffy in a furry kind of way(I should know, I have one) and they have no feathers on their legs..... Yep! I'm POSITIVE they are Australorp!

Those are as silkie as you get. LOL Not perfect quality, but nothing even close to Australorps - at all.

OK. I think it is a little to dark to be a Lakenvelder. It is probably a White Faced Black Spanish or a Whiting True Blue

Guess we'll see as it grows!

Okay! I'm not at all an expert, but I think at least the hen in the pic was Australorp.

Maybe you're looking at the wrong pics...the person you quoted had posted pics of white silkies.

Ok, not standing out as an obvious cockerel yet. Fraid you'll have to wait longer on this one. How old in the pics?

Oh, ok - look closely at them. Do you see the red/orange leakage on their hackles, and on the wings of the cockerels? Australorps are black, they don't have leakage. Now look up some pics of Black Copper Marans. See the similarity? As they get older, they'll look more like that.

Okay! Your right! I took the pics this morning!

Hi all! This is my first post. I have three 12 week old easter Eggers. Can anyone tell me whether they are pullets or cockerels? Hoping for pullets. Thanks!
