Duh! I never noticed this forum! LOL
These are "Daphne" (white) and "Velma." They're roughly 3 months, +/-. "Daphne" has been a little aggressive lately, pecking the girls on their sides (RIR, Red Stars, Leghorns). S/he's more solitary than the others. S/he does have bumps on the legs; really just bumps. But, it feels like the scratch of the tip of a nail when I run my fingertip across them. S/he's very talkative, and sounds nothing like the rest of the chickens. But I haven't heard anything that sounds like "cockadoodledoo." My mother said it sounds like a rooster, but I don't think she'd know a rooster if it jumped up and bit her on the butt.
The rest of the girls I'm quite sure are female. It's just the 2 Silkies I'm not positive about.
I posted these pics in a Silkie photo thread, and those that commented suggest that "Daphne" is a male.
