I Bielive this is a red chanterlier

The first and second look like cockeralls to me but hard to tell at such a young age. The third one, the red chanterlier, it definitely looks like a young hen.

Any one else know more than me?

 

[MaiyaTurtle]

I have baby silkies and you can’t tell with then til around a year

 

[Ridgerunner]

It's a little early to be sure but I agree. The Chantecleer looks female, the other two look male.

None of their combs look too big so my guess is that they're hens. How old are they?

 

[Littlebron123]

They are all 5 weeks old. I’m really hoping that they are hens because if not I cant keep them.

I also have silkies and when they were chicks, I was worried one of them was a rooster and I was right. When I was suspicious of his gender, I looked up ways to tell silkie males from females and a video said that the males stand more upright than the females. The males also have a bigger almost walnut shaped comb that forms after a couple weeks. My silkie rooster also started crowing at about 5 months.

What is a silkie?

Although that is true Celeste Cannon, that roosters stand up strainer, one of my chicks was very large and stood up straight as a chick and then it ended up being a hen.
