[laylerschicks]

Roxie (barred rock)

Yellow Mellow (Buff Polish)

Bob Ross (White Crested Black Polish)

also bob ross

Blue (Brown Leghorn)

Patsy (Buff Orpington)

Belinda (California White)

Repecka (New Hampshire Red)

Berry (Red or Partridge Silkie)

Sorry for the bad pics, just tell me if you need better ones

Right now...Roxie is Rock and the 3rd Bob Ross is gender appropriate.

The rest look to be pullets thus far.

My quick perusal.

Are you saying you think bob ross and roxie are cockrels?

I think so.

Yes Roxie and 3rd Bob Ross are males....that's really large red wattles for 3 to 5 weeks.

You might luck out and Roxie is female as sometimes Barred females are precocious, but I think you'll see a large red comb develop in Roxie within 3 weeks.

Do you have better pics of Roxies face?

To me, and I'm still leaning myself, apart from the polish and silke (I'm no good at sexing them) they all look like pullets.

 

[Lady of McCamley]

Looking closer, Bob Ross #2 also has quite a bit of wattle development and may be male.

Polish and Silkies are definitely harder to sex, with Silkies very difficult.

The best overall sign of maleness is red, larger comb, and red larger wattles. Sometimes the comb is a bit large but pale while the wattles are large.

Most females do not develop any significant comb or wattles until point of lay, which is generally around 18 to 20 weeks of age.

So when you have a youngster developing pinkish, largish comb or wattles at a young age, it usually means male.

This is my white crested polish who i am fairly certain is a pullet. Bob Ross has much wilder "hair" and prominant wattles in comparison. Hope that helps!
