Hey guys! Wondering what gender these 3 are.
They're all bantams, Silkie, Red Laced White Cornish, and Black OEGB. They're about 8 weeks old.

So far I'm thinking-
Lacey = Hen
Nugget = Cockerel :(
And I'm not entirely sure on Cotton as I've never had Silkies, but I'm leaning towards Cockerel. :(
Nugget also looked like a hen for so long, and within the last few weeks has gotten a brighter face and bigger comb. Tell me what you think. Thanks guys!
 
Nugget and Lacey look like pullets so far. Not sure on the silkie.

Nugget is a grey Japanese bantam, not an OEGB.
Awesome! I was pretty sure those two were pullets, but I started to second guess it about a week ago.
I thought that the white highlights seemed odd. I was told on here that she was an OEGB, but Grey Japanese gives more color to the bunch. Thanks guys! :D
 
Should I assume I'm waiting for saddle feathers to come in? Thats about 10-12 weeks right?
I think that’s when. I just got my first cockerels so I’m not experienced with this.

(Well I had a Ayam Cemani cockerel until he was about 14 weeks and he had just started getting saddle feathers around 13-14 weeks)

So I guess 12-15 weeks is when you should start seeing them, but this is a guess. Good luck! :)
