Pullet or cockerel?

I got these three showgirls (2 frizzle and 1 satin) from a local breeder. They are about 4-5 weeks old. At what age can you sex a showgirl?

Also, are they feathered enough to spend the day outside? I took them out for about 20 min, but they were shivering a little so I took them back inside.

I think you need wait a bit longer. Generally anywhere between 2-5 months.

Are show girls as hard as silkies to sex? The two little ones chest bump each other a lot. It is making me nervous!

Both sexes do chest bumping. I'm sure silkies and showgirls share the same difficulty in sexing them. Watch for larger combs earlier. That may indicate males.

Thank you!
