So my bantam cochins have turned out to be barred. Is it safe to say that they are girls since they have more black than white and no comb or wattle development at 5.5ish weeks old?

The SLW are so sweet. All 3 of them will jump onto whomever's hand is in the brooder. I hope they stay so dang friendly. They were sold as pullets so hopefully no surprise boys either.
And just because I know all of you like pictures
I changed over to sand in the brooder so everybody was loaded in a box

Sweet Gyspy Jane. I was trying to take a picture of the pretty white-tipped feathers on her back...she had other ideas.

And this is Moxie who still thinks she needs to fly. She's limping a bit since she flew up there, not too much. I hope she'll be ok. She's my favourite. The pictures don't do her justice, she's mostly a fiery orange!
