I would GUESS
1. pullet
2. cockerel
3. pullet
4. cockerel

But I have def. been fooled by silkies before. I had one I was SURE was a hen, and then almost overnight it seemed "she" got a huge comb, wattles, and started crowing.

yeah, 1 and 3 are girls, 2 & 4 are boys.

 

[TeriyakiChicken]

can you get a pic of smooth showing the wattles and earlobes?

Corresponding with the pics, pullet, roo, pullet and ? I can't really see the last one clearly!

As requested, a close-up of Smooth's face! Still working on another one of Dude.

I am leaning towards pullet for smooth but my girls sometimes turn out to be boys.

Good Luck!

I would say roo for smooth, her comb and wattles are too pronounced to be a pullet i think..

Thanks, all! If I remember, I'll post a follow up whenever these birdies start crowing or popping out eggs.
