Help! Pullet or Roo!

[hannahsak]

Hi everyone,

I have 4 chicks. They were 5 weeks old yesterday. I bought them as fertilised eggs for my broody silkie hen. The eggs were marked as: 3x Wheaton Perkins and 1x porcelain silkie feathered (not even sure what that is...!)

I think one of the Wheaton pekins is a roo as it is much larger than the others and has much more of a red comb. I just can't tell with the others... Any guesses??

Thank you!

Given the size and redness of its comb and wattles at 5 weeks, the bird in the top pic is a cockerel. The others all appear to be pullets for now.

I agree.

Thank you both, I guess I'll wait a couple more weeks and see how the others develop. Will share some more pics of the others when they've got a bit bigger
