Yikes! Well they all look like they r males except I can't tell on those last two crested ones...and silkies are hard to sex but this one is looking like a male too. And the first one is sort of blurred...but I think the comb is reddish on it?

The deathlayer and silkie might be cockerels, the others look like pullets so far.

Hahaha, I was cracking up when I posted because the Deathlayer is so cockerel-like! And Silkies are supposed to be hard to sex until much later, but I think boy too.

I'll be thrilled if the rest are pullets!

Hoping so... seriously, 6 out of 8 hatchlings are likely boys. The Araucana questionable.

No just from a Individual on Craigslist. They are 7 weeks old.
