Roosters or hens and breed??

[yokojo]

Hello,
I've got 3 chicks around 8 weeks old and im hoping to find out if I have hens or roosters. A silkie, frizzle and not sure of the brown's breed. I thought I got silkie, frizzle and bantam Wyandotte eggs but think the brown is something else?? I'm guessing he is a rooster by his crest but not sure on the others. hoping for a hen or 2.

[chickens really]

The only one that looks like a pullet is the Black frizzle..........

Bantam for sure and looks like a Cockerel..Breed? I say a mix...


Silkie looks like a Cockerel also......



Cheers!

Thanks that's what I was thinking. Bit sad as the white silkie is my favourite

I'm not great on Silkies, but that's sure a lot of comb for the age. Probably a cockerel.

The little frizzle looks like a pullet

. She's a cutie!

The brown bird is a cockerel. Looks like a mixed breed.

The little frizzle is your only pullet.

I agree

Thanks for all your replies.. I'm going to rehome the brown cockerel today and I just wanted to get an updated opinion on the silkie. I'm thinking s/he's probably a boy from all your responses but his/her crest has rounded out a lot and I can't see obvious streamers yet. S/he's almost 4 months now. What do you think ?

Anyone? I'm on my way to the farm now with the silkie in the car and I'd love anyone's opinion
Hopefully they might know at the farm!
