Silkie and polish- any thoughts on roos or hens?

[Bwies]

Wondering if anybody has any idea if I have cockerels or pullets? Number 1 is 11 weeks old and Numbers 2-6 are 8 weeks old. I'm wondering if they are still too young to tell?

2,6, and 5 look like cockerels. @BastyPutt here's a polish for you!

When I click the link it just takes me to all the posts. I was afraid my little polish might be a boy, been going back and forth. I thought #1 was a boy all along because of the pink comb early on and the super spicy attitude but she is already much smaller than a couple of the other silkies that are several weeks younger so gave me hope!

That color is normal for 11 weeks

Ohh a bit of a challenge.

Silkies are my kryptonite, so I have no comment on those.

But your polish is a pullet gold laced is very easy to tell by this age because of their plumage. You would see much more black, and less consistent patterning if this was a cockerel.

Looks like the Blue may be your only cockerel.
