Hi guys,

I’m new here but I’ve been raising backyard chooks for a while now.
it’s been a few years since I hatched my own or had babies so hoping for some help on what I have here.
I’m suburbia so can probably only get away with one rooster…

I’m thinking both the pekins are boys, one has much larger wattles than the other so he’s gotta be a boy but is there any chance the other is a girl? They are from frizzles but don’t think either of them are frizzles themselves.

For the D’uccles one has a larger comb, one has a medium comb and the last one is the only I’m thinking is definitely a girl… no sign of any wattles, though I know they are not so pronounced on D’uccles.

I heard a little crow this morning when letting them out so I know there’s one boy. I didn’t see who it was but I suspect the pekin.

really hoping I have more than one girl from five 🤞

so hard to get a good picture but here I go I’ve taken a head and body shot of each one 😊
Pics

thanks everyone Bek

I would agree with you, for the boys and girls here. Update in a few weeks?
