I'm trying to figure out what bantam breed my chicks are. My husband thinks 2 are rooster. 2 that are darker are skittish and loud but once held they calm down.

I agree. The crele one’s markings likely indicate pullet and I think the others look black breasted redThese are probably old English game bantams. I see one crele, and the rest are probably black breasted reds and silver duckwings. They are way too young to tell gender. 6 weeks is a good starting point.

Thanks. I looked them all up. They do look a lot like those. I'm guessing their 3 weeks old. They're really getting their adult feathers in.These are probably old English game bantams.

It's the breast feathers that matter most with these. Males will have black breast feathers, females will have salmon or rust colored breast feathers.Thanks. I looked them all up. They do look a lot like those. I'm guessing their 3 weeks old. They're really getting their adult feathers in.
