Five weeks old today. None are screaming cockerel to me; and, I know that 2 are pullets without a doubt. I think the other 2 are also pullets. At six weeks I will post on what gender forum and get some expert advise. For now, just some pics of our happy (most of the time) little flock.

Poor broody momma - sat for 21 days on eggs, has been raising the chicks for 5 weeks and about 7 days ago went into a light molt. Looking a little haggard, but is better than she was a couple of days ago.

Nice! I have one chick that hatched from broody silkie incubators, that chick is for some reason crowing but it's 8 weeks old. In my opinion, my chick's screaming COCKEREL. The silkies complain whenever I take Robin (that's his name, I'm assuming he's a cockerel, I'll post something if he isn't) out but Robin doesn't really complain. He is still peeping.
