Francesca ( speckled Sussex) and Henrietta ( buff brahma) are my sons two big girls. We got them from a feed store that said they were hens with 90% accuracy. They are 7+ weeks old now. Henrietta had the two layers of wing feathers when she was a baby chick ( though I'm not sure if that's a good way to tell a hen for a brahma). Francesca rules the roost, is super smart, adventurous and friendly....praying she's a hen because I'm so into this bird! What do the experts think? Hens or cockerels? Crossing my fingers!!!

I'm pretty sure the grey Silkie is a cockerel...has crowed a few times already at 6+ weeks. We are going to try to keep him but this is suburbia and we are secret chicken keepers. Love those silkies!
 
I think the two in front are hens. If they have crowed, you can immediately put those down for roosters. BTW, I love how clean their coop is!!:gig:thumbsup
Thanks and hope you are right! So far just the grey Silkie crows! Winnifred may be a Winston! I have to be a neat freak because we are secret chicken keepers. Luckily their yard and coop is on the side of the house without neighbors and there is a 6' concrete wall all around.
 
Those two look like pullets, at this point, but that white one....? Not a speckled Sussex.
The big girl front left is supposed to be a Speckled Sussex... lol! If she’s not then what do you think she is? The white little one in back and the little grey are splash Silkies.
 
I'm not sure, maybe a barnyard mix.... SS are brown with white flecks, yellow legs and a single comb.
Ok then we have an oddball! Whatever she is she’s the coolest bird ever.. smart, a leader, adventurous, talks to us and always up for a cuddle. And I think she’s gorgeous too!
