What Gender and Sex are my babies?

[MamaHutch06]

I asked when these guys where babies and no one was sure but I would like to see if anybody can tell me the breed and gender of my birds now. 1 of them is laying already so I know 1 is a girl.


This is Coffee...






This is Hines...




This is Midnite (we think this is the one laying but not sure)...

They're all hens and the last one is a black Silkie,I don't know what breeds the other two are though.

 

[MamaHutch06]

Can you explain to me how you know they are all hens? I was thinking that too but I would love to learn how to tell for sure

if they were rooster all of them would have big bright red combs a long time ago and be crowing by now.

the breeds of them are 1st sliver duckwing old english game bantam 2nd black japanese bantam 3rd silkie

Also Roos have pointy saddle feathers, this is a great pic because they are laced in white so you can see exactly what I mean. Hope that helps, I like to surf this forum so I can also learn

They are only 3 moths old...I didnt think they would crow yet lmao

My main roo started at 7 weeks, the other two Roos did not crow until I moved the main roo out of the coop, they were 23 weeks. I have two other roos in another pen that are 13 weeks, they started crowing at 10 weeks. So I think they all vary on when they will crow

Oh good to know! Thank you everyone very much! I have bought 12 baby chicks (a few days old) and 6 chicks (8 weeks old) and I only recieved hens. So I have not yet had the pleasure/torture of raising a rooster.lol
