Possible parents!!! Lightening is my white hen, Miss Frizzle is of course my frizzle hen and Beast is my black rooster!

Looking like a cockerel. Hope I am wrong.😬

I kept this little one for purely sentimental reasons, hatched from an egg from my hen I sold and regretted. 6 weeks old and no real male indicators, and yet I think Violet may be a boy, too. Strangely has a single comb, even though dad is a Silkie with a walnut comb and mom was a Silkie/Ameraucana with a modified pea comb. Will be tough selling a mixed breed cockerel. Was going to my layer flock along with an OE. We will see.🙂View attachment 3273002
I knoooowww I think so too 😩 I suppose it wouldn’t be the end of the world as long as he’s nice and has decent form for breeding. I could sell some Silkie babies and maybe some more satins 😍 Although I’m worried both of Sia’s babies are boys the way they spar…I know everyone says girls spar too—but all of my sparring chickens have been boys 🤪 Violet looks pretty even if a boy 😍
 
Posting my adults!! The first two i was told are satin silkies, but I’m not sure! And the last picture is of Beast and Miss Frizzle. I’ve ended up with 3 black Silkie roosters and a blue Silkie rooster. The only girls old enough to lay are Lightening and Miss Frizzle. I’m hoping the others won’t be long! Lol Thunder, Thor - black roosters- and Hulk -blue rooster- were just added to the adult flock. Have yet to see them get any action. Beast controls the girls. Would y’all split a certain way?? Or leave them all together???
