Pullet or cockerel

[LovelyLa]

Hello brand spanking new member here
Got these lil chitlins on 24th sept .
I don’t care so much about the silkie sex although it f you can tell - I’d love the heads up !
definitely have a boy in the white duccles…caught him trying to crow this morning but I’m not sure if they’re all same age ?
The red ones are all way smaller than the other two as long as the speckled duccles is a pullet
Any advice as I can’t have the neighbours dob me and roosters into council …but old biddy loves being the dibber dobber
Thankyou kindly x

Well, if they're under 4 months old, anything with a large or colorful comb is a male

Can't help with the silkies but your other 2 white ones appear to both be cockerels. I also think one of your red ones might be a cockerel. In the picture showing all 3 red together, the suspicious one is the one perched above the other 2.

Sorry I missed the Speckled. He also appears to be a cockerel.

X2 on everything you said. I am thinking the same thing.

And welcome to BYC, @LovelyLa, it's great to have you here on this amazing forum!

Thanks so much ,
And I’m absolutely shattered to hear the news ..
, we had silkies 12 years ago
And they were funny little things .
But I am reliving a childhood memory with the duccles .
I love them so much !
And the only speckle is a boy …
The smaller red ones were always smaller - I have lost 3/6 duccles
And I’m betting two of the sillies will have to go as well …
4 out of 9 hens -
Shame they can’t sex earlier ..
I wasn’t prepared to lose half my flock
If you can’t point me in the direction of duccles pullets ln Caloundra qld
Please thanks again

We have a couple Australia threads on BYC. Maybe they can help?
