One rooster? Silkies and another breed

[jbakely]

So I think we have 1 rooster and 3 pullets. The "rooster" has a big comb, wattles that hang and a big puff that sticks straight up on his head. The "girls" look pretty much identical- very low/no comb, hair on head is flatter.

So on the brown/black/white ones I'm hoping for girls. What kind of chickens are they? They came out of the TS mixed bantam bin.

It would help if you give an age on these guys,

The brown colored ones are mille de fleur d'uccles

I think they are about 4 mths old now.

Rooster in back, front one looks like a pullet

That's what I think, but the one silkie is questionable for me.

A silkie pair and 2 mille fluer d'uccle roosters.

The red is just not to breed standard and would be disqualified for showing. Ideally they would have plum colored combs. Since they are hatchery stock, they go for quantity of chicks of breed quality. They make perfectly good pets still though.

thanks- we will probably be rehoming some roosters- we already have 2, so 3 more is too many. We'll wait a little longer and then decide who needs to find new homes. The babies are all friendly, but the Silkie one is the most and the silkie girls love him already.
