So I hatched these ones. They’re silkie or silkie and wyandottes. (Silkie roo, silkie and golden laced Wyandotte hens) I suck at this streamers thing. I have added hatch dates to pictures. I know phoenix the large wattled one is a roo. Thanks for any advice. They’re 12 weeks and 9 weeks.

I think there is a high chance of them all being pullets except for the one in the last photo. However, they are still too young to be 100% sure as I have thought some of my silkies were pullets but turned out to be cockerels. Just post updates every now and then so we can see how they may be growing or changing.
 
You think all of them but that one are hens?
Yes out of the photo I though they all seem too have very small Walt's and combs except the golden brown type one. You may have just got the luck in a batch we all want. Almost all pullets and one cockerel, but they are young so you'll have to wait and see if any are crowing.
