I'm only schooled on Guinea hens.

This year I tried something different and I recently got 6 very different chicks (hens and maybe a rooster)...the runt didn't make it.

I have a dilemma - I was under the impression that what I believe is a Silkie was a Roo. He's had red wattles and a comb since he was 6 weeks. The wattles are a decent size even if the pics show otherwise, his comb is a nice size too. They are hidden under all his fluff. I took some more photos to maybe help - it's hard - his/her crest is probably one of the fluffiest I've seen on a chick which also could say it's a hen. I cut it before I knew what 'streamers' were but I don't believe he had any. His crest is very afro like. He is ofc the second set of pictures. I messed up adding them.


The first set of pictures is Daisy - I thought she was a female but side by side with another it looks like he could possibly be a Roo. I also have no idea what breed Daisy is. He/she appeared to be the same breed as Mia the one next to him but as he gets older he's looking different with his crest and personality - Is it possible he is a rue as well?

I'm also going to add a little video and a few pics of all my birds because sometimes you guys pick up on little things I missed.

Please let me know your thoughts. I really wanted a rooster for this group of girls but now I'm just confused as hell.

I'll add pictures and any opinions are GREATLY appreciated.

Daisy looks like a pullet, and I think the other is a cockerel. He looks like he's getting some male feathering in on his wings, and he's got a pretty big comb and wattles as well. He's not pure Silkie, I'm guessing he's got some in his background, as well as possibly some Polish.
