So heres a good chunk of my flock, mostly bantams and unfortunately it seems like mostly roos'

its been a few months and we're really anxious about gender, too many roo's might be a problem.. and I hear roo's take a long time to lay eggs lol

so heres my shot at identifying gender and breed, please share your opinion because my guesses are a bummer

flipper i pick to be a ameracauna...roo?

Mimi is a sebright...roo?

and henry the chicken hawk(named after the looney toons cartoon because HE was all black as a chick and had the same personality as the cartoon) Barred Rock...roo? i assume because hes very independent and doesnt hang out with the other flock, and hes really curious and daring..tries to fit in with our older flock.

thanks for your feedback! i had another post about dorthy here

turns out the jury says Silver Phoenix Roo? at this rate Im never gonna have any eggs, and my neighbors are gonna have a cow... which is only an expression where I live, (the suburban part of town, though there is a very "rural" side 5 minutes down the road)

Someone give me good news!
 
I am sure they still young, I know for sure that the last picture you are 100 correct on it, but the first one you might have a shot on henry and the other one, they might be girls.

they will stat laying between 18 and 20 weeks, so just be paitient.

Good luck.
 
Actually I see pullet on everything except Ducky, Lunch, Dinner & Dorthy. Lunch, Dinner & Dorthy are positives. Ducky & maybe Carlos are possibles but I'm thinking more pullet for Carlos.

P.S. Lunch & Dinner are barred Cochins not Rocks (see feet feathers) & Carlos is an E.E (what hatcheries sell as Ameracaunas)
