Roo or hen?!

[Jenna0822]

Hello! First time chicken keeper. We have 5 chicks that we got from an online hatchery. Supposedly sexed as female.

3 faverolles
2 silkies

We haven’t heard the traditional crowing yet but two are making a weird horn sound.

They are 10 weeks old (tomorrow)

Here are some pictures! Any idea of we have a roo amount us?

I suspect the brown silkie and the darker faverolle.

Your 3 faverolles are 100% pullets. They have female specific coloring. Your buff silkie seems like a pullet, and not 100% sure on the white one, but she also seems like a pullet. The horn sound happens when chicks go from peeping to adult sounds. They sound quite funny as they learn to talk.

Agreed.

I love that funny honk sound. Although sometimes they honk loud as they mature haha
I have had a couple goosey sounding pullets.
