She said/He said Who's right? Who's wrong? No one!

Must've had some rowdy ones running around to put that policy in place...
I knew it was getting out of control when Fabio (silkie) tried to kick Tate's (BCM) butt

ETA: breeds. Not sure if you've kept up with my rooster's names

Actually, I do remember their names, lol...

Maybe Fabio didn't get the memo about Silkies being the bottom of the pecking order... I know our Vader didn't... thinks he's the biggest, baddest roo in the South, lol...

And I'm betting he can back it up!

SC, Dan suggested I ask you this. Gender opinions?

The darker ones definitely look pullet to me. Bottom right I still feel is a rooster, and top left I'm 50/50. Top left has a good deal of comb showing, but it's more blunt on the back side, and the way the crest feathers are growing faster than the other suggest pullet
Assuming the positions of the light ones are swapped like you said last night, I still feel the same. The comb on the top left is even more pronounced in profile, while the bottom right is less pronounced. Like I said, I'm not the greatest at guessing silkies, but that's my gut. I'm 50/50 on the second light one. I could also be totally off base on the darker ones. Their feather color tends to make the combs disappear, but they still have a healthy dose of feathers at the front of the crest, so I'm guessing pullets, although the bottom left's crest is looking a little suspicious in the second pic. I'm really never certain until the wattles start showing. My hens will have very small, dark wattles, while the rooster's will grow faster and show more red.
I'm saying 1 boy and 3 girls. I'm curious to see how it turns out

That is a beautiful roo! I wish I had started with bearded silkies. Vader is very appropriate. His crest and hackles look just like the helmet
