I have 4 birds from tsc. Only the silkie is named(volta). They're all from the bantam mix tsc sells. Once they finish feathering I was planning on getting them introduced to my coop. The sooner the better as currently I just have a pair. As they are getting closer tho I feel like I should figure out who the males are? If I introduce them to my coop will my rooster try to kill any baby roos? Or do I have until they reach sexual maturity until fighting starts. I'm building multiple coops but obviously while I only have a few birds it would be better to keep them together. If I need pics of something specific let me know. I also have day old pics
These are my guesses
Brown(partridge cochin?/female based on the fact it feathered super fast)
White(white cochin?/male based on reddish combs)
Gray(blue silkie? Possibly black but looks pretty blue to me./male, feathering reallll slow, my friend said probably a roo
)
Black(black cochin?/ Male? It was the last bird to stay developing feathers.)
I don't actually know if they're all cochin. I have a friend who acts like every feather footed bird is a cochin or a silkie. Silkie has 5 toes so that's an easy one. The brown one could be a bantam brahma?, I can't remember which but as chicks one of them looked like a dorking chick. But now they don't resemble any adult dorkings I've found.
