What sex are our 5 month old chicks please?

[Mairead87]

Hi, one of our school hens got broody over the summer and we gave her a mix of 5 different breeds to sit on. They're 5 months old now and we're wondering what sex they are, as we're a school in a residential area, we may need to find homes for any cockerels we may have in the brood (as much as I'd like to keep them all no matter what they are). Any help in sexing them would be appreciated, thanks.

There is:
a Lavender Araucana
a white silkie
a blue silkie??
a red blue laced wyandotte
a buff wyandotte

(Please excuse the muddy ground, it's the first winter for our mini farm, we weren't expecting so much mud, a path/flags are being laid very soon).

The lavender one is a cockerel because I think I see saddle feathers, white silkie is also a pullet, the blue silkie looks like a cockerel because of that comb and I think I see saddle feathers, as well as the blue laced red wyandotte because the coloring looks to be of a male. The buff orpington looks to be a pullet. Do you hear any crowing? I could be wrong. You should wait to see what others think.

I could be wrong, so stick around to hear others opinion. Do you hear any crowing?

I agree. Wyandotte and Araucana are cockerels. Orpington is a pullet. Not sure on the Silkies though.

I third them. White silkie looks female, grey silkie is male.
