PICTURES ADDED.. Found little bumps where spurs should be

[Elite Silkies]

I thought I had 9 pullets and 3 Roosters, but after looking at their legs and seeing little bumps where spurs should be, now I am thinking all Roosters!

They are suppose to be 21 weeks old now, but I am doubting that! I can go take some recent photos of them when they go in for the evening.

All pullets have "bumps" like all men have nipples!

Yes! All pullets have bumps. Doesn't mean they'll amount to spurs. You should be able to tell on wattles and combs, etc., if they are cockrels at 20 weeks. Post pictures if you're in doubt.

Oh don't feel stupid. I've seen that question asked at least twice since this past April by others. I'd love to see some pictures!

They were suppose to be 12 weeks old on June 18, so that would make 11 of them 21 weeks and the one with the red leg band 23 weeks old. I don't think they are that old, I could be wrong.

The 3 rooster were suppose to be the same age, but 2 of the roosters are huge compared to one. So, that is why I am thinking they are all different ages.

I know for sure they are over 10 weeks old, because I have had them that long. I think some of them are being picked on, because some are loosing some tail feathers.

8 of them have had the same size comb and wattles for the last 2 1/2 months, doesn't look like they have changed any at all...............

If the one with the red leg band is a hen like it suppose to be, I would think she might be laying by now?

All have bumps and sometimes, hens have spurs. I've had two different breed hens with spurs, albeit, small ones like pencil erasers.
