Here are my girls, Poppy and Silvia for a comparison if that helps.

That helps immensely! They are beautiful. I do notice they have more tail feathers and less white than my silver. Silvia.. I see what you did there! Otherwise very similar which gives me hope

Mine are still just a tad bit younger than your’s and don’t have as developed wing feathers as yours yet, the tail feathers are also still a bit of baby fluff. Mine might not be the same quality either, they are from Atwood’s and are nothing fancy ; )

Here they are at 5 weeks!
So we're entering awkward pre-teen scruff phase! I love how dorky the chicks look at the moment. Finally starting to see the hint of some pretty feathers coming through It's still too soon to be sure but I want to keep updating in case I can help someone else in the future. Still feel as if the silver could well be a rooster, but the gold isn't showing any glaring rooster signs (YAY). Let me know what you think!

Silver still looks like a girl to me. No comb growth and the beak is still yellow between the eyes.

Week six!
Saw the silvers comb become significantly 'pinker' over two short days. I've been calling him 'he' but I haven't completely given up on him, it's still early so you never know He's very friendly, as is my sweet golden girl!

It’s still not really red. These are two cockerels I had around 6 weeks. Different breeds, but the already had a lot more comb development and they were turning really red.

Agreed. Still thinking pullets thus far. Lacing looks nice and clean too which is usually a Pullet thing

Thanks! These are the chicks from the other post. It's exciting watching them change each day but pullets would be ideal.
