I am trying to figure out how many hens I have. I incubated eggs and 11 hatched(6/4/25). I for sure had 6 roosters, I gave 5 of them away. So I have 1 frizzle that is 100% a rooster, I can't figure out that last 4. I have one that I know for sure is a hen caught her laying an egg. I got my first egg 11/10 and since then I have gotten 9 eggs. Do I have more than 1 hen?

So beautiful!

The one on the far side isn't purebred silkie but sure looks like a cockerel to me. The one in front of him appears pullet to me, but see what its comb looks like. Frizzle silkies are sometimes nearly impossible to sex until they crow or lay an egg.

This one, I'd have thunk cockerel but it doesn't have any other signs so give it another month and see if this one's comb stops or keeps growing. The stage it is now, I get older silkie hens with combs like that, so I think it could be a pullet.
