I've got some decisions to make right away. I have too many chicks and I can't keep roosters so I need some help deciphering what I have.
#1 is this baby above which I think is a silver laced brahma bantam? Very slow to mature...Is just now starting to get tiny tail feathers at about 5 weeks.

#3 dark brahma bantam? I have two of these. One has a slightly more developed tail than the other.
 
What type of comb does it have? I'm not sure on breed, but its slow feathering is typical of a cockerel.

What type of comb? Probably some sort of Old English Game. Looks like a pullet.
#2 this looks like an americauna bantam hen to me?


Yes, looks like a Dark Brahma. It is too young to tell gender right now.

Spangled Old English Game Bantam cockerel.
#4 old English bantam. Long tail and pale comb. Looks like a pullet to me?


Silver Laced Cochin, probably a cockerel.
#5 I have no idea what this is or gender?
 
Thanks so much! I'm not sure how to do the least confusing response...i'm still figuring out how to post!
1. This one doesn't have any comb yet. It has been really slow to do anything...even gain any weight.

2. This one has a single comb that is barely there except for a small spike at the back.

3. Do you know what age it will take to determine gender?

4. This is good to know! I haven another similar that has a much darker comb but a really short tail so I thought pullet for sure.

5. Nooo...haha...I just got this one and was hoping for a hen!

Thanks for taking the time to respond! It was so helpful!
