They are two months now, the one is very clearly a little roo I’m thinking he will be blue but he’s so dark it’s hard to tell just yet, and the other two I am hoping and praying pullets but the one I’m just not sure about yet. Also the two black ones have white on their wings and chest will they be black or mottled? The eggs I hatched them from were supposed to be BBS not mottled 🤦‍♀️

The one in front is a cockerel and the one in back on the right is a cockerel. The back left looks too pink to be a pullet. Don't rule that one out yet though. Post updated pics of that one in 2 more weeks.
 
Hmmm they look a lot like mine, I have 4 BBS bantam cochins…I would guess all boys based on their redness but Cochins are a bit tough! They will lose all the white as they feather out too…the white feathers get replaced. I thought that was weird too, but mine are almost all black or blue now.
Oh no i sure hope not all boys but that would be just my luck lol out of 8 eggs i get 3 to hatch and if they all turn out to be boys i wont be surprised. thanks guys i am really hoping that the two black ones just miraculously turn out to be girls and i get a perfect little trio

I see one for sure cock! The one up in front has about a 50% chance, and the one in the back has a good chance at being a pullet! They are all absolutely darling!
 
It’s so rare we get updates on these type threads. @STEPHANIELAUREN got any confirmations???
So sorry I just don’t get on here as often! These pics are all from beginning of October but not much has changed since then I will try to get new pics tomorrow. So one for sure cockerel one I’m pretty sure pullet and the one on my shoulder in pics I still don’t know! I am thinking boy but praying girl 🤞🤞🤞

How old? looks like the one on the right is a cockerel The one in the front actually looks like a cockerel and maybe even the last one.
 
Ok, the one to the top right is a cockerel the one to the left is a pullet and the middle one looks like a slow developing cockerel, or a fast developing pullet, i’m waiting for experts to tell for sure.
 
Hmmm they look a lot like mine, I have 4 BBS bantam cochins…I would guess all boys based on their redness but Cochins are a bit tough! They will lose all the white as they feather out too…the white feathers get replaced. I thought that was weird too, but mine are almost all black or blue now.

Edited to add - I think I have 3 pullets and a roo...:)
