Here are my 3 babies. I ordered them sexed as girls from my pet chicken although I realize it's not always correct. They are approx. 14 weeks old. I'm really hoping they are truly girls cause I can't have any roo's in the city.

They all started doing the bawk bawking sometimes. I haven't heard any crowing yet.
The black one is real sweet. Her name is Miss Wobbles.

The white one is scared of everything but likes to pick on the tan one. Her name is Lily (hopefully it wont be Mr. Lily)

The tan one I'm a bit confused on. Her name is Delilah and she has four toes. She hasn't started to grow any wattles or comb yet. The black and white ones have started growing the wattles and combs. She definately doesn't look like the other two. Do you think she's a mix or is she still a silkie? Any opinions on the sex of these guys would be helpful? Thanks!

The black one doesn't have as big a comb as the white one, but it is wide... The tan one I can't really see very well... I wouldn't rush to any conclusions though. Easiest way is to wait for an egg or a crow

I've been kind of worried that the white one was a boy. I change my mind everyday about the black one.
What are my chances of a non crowing rooster? LOL

Thanks for your opinions. I was really hoping that I was imagining the white one was a boy.
My kids are going to be very upset. We can't keep any roosters (unless by some miracle they didn't crow, lol).
Any ideas about the tan one. I don't know if it's buff or red. I ordered both but one died. It also has only 4 toes not 5. Does it look like a full silkie or mix? Anyone?

I'm so sad right now. So much for paying extra to have them sexed.
