Hi guys! I’m new to the chicken world. I have 5 chicks that I purchased through a country store at a day old. 4 of the 5 were sold as pullets and the last one was straight run because it’s a Silkie. I would just like your opinions of sexes from you guys! Everything I’ve read makes me believe the 4 are pullets, but I have had a feeling the Silkie is male since I got it. She (I’m calling it a she until proven otherwise with a crow 😆) just acts like a he. Very friendly, always standing up tall, feathering slowly.. things like that. BUT I know there’s always hope since they mature very slowly. So I was hoping I could get your opinions on all 5 of them even tho I know there is no guarantee with the Silkie this young. I’m hoping it’s a she so I don’t have to re-home her!!! They are all 4 weeks old and the Silkie’s crest still has mostly down feathers except the middle of the crest is now bald lol. I’m going to post pics of all 5 but it won’t post them in order.. the first 4 pics are of the Silkie tho!
1) Black Silkie named Birdie (suspect cockerel- friendly and the CUTEST!!)
2) Buff Orpington “pullet” named Buffy (she’s my fave— always wants to be on my shoulder and roosts, very cuddly)
3) Plymouth Barred Rock “pullet” named Poppy (such a quiet sweetheart, makes the softest little chirps and loves digging in her bedding/eating)
4) Easter Egger “pullet” named Tillie (very talkative and friendly, loves to poop on me 💩)
5) Barnevelder “pullet” named Penelope (she’s the shyest of them all but is getting more and more brave/flying on and off of me. I would really appreciate all the input on your opinions! Especially on the little Silkie, Birdy. Thanks!!!
