How old?

Not screaming cockerel, but time will tell.

What is it and why, either way? Thank you!

I have a bantam that is about 6 weeks old. I'm not sure what breed it is and today I noticed what look like spur buds already. Help!!

They all have buds when they are young. As time goes by the boys will grow and the girls dont.

Well every few weeks the opinion seems to change on if these 6 are pullets or cockerels. Obviously some have quite large combs, but I understand that large combs doesn't necessarily equal rooster. All of the breeds are unknown too. The black one was bought as a black sex link. When the barring showed up we thought it was a roo, but a friend with more experience says barred rock hen.

How old? It looks like a RIR pullet, I'll need a better picture to be sure but it looks like it doesn't have hackle feathers/saddle feathers, or an over large comb.

Looks like an Old English Game pullet, all birds have spur bumps. Roosters will grow when they get older (some hens grow them too but nor normally). Oh and
