You know what time it is! 6 week old gender guesses!

[T-R-O-U-B-L-E]

Hey all! I have 9 Bantam chicks - 3 Blue Cochin Bantams, 3 Millie Fleur Duccles, 1 Partridge Silkie, 1 Golden Laced Sebright, and 1 Red Pyle OEGB. I hatched the Blues and bought the others out of an assorted Bantam bin at TSC. I already sold one Blue Cochin Bantam cockerel and another got eaten by a snake (he was seperated in a not safe pen because he was grabbing the MFs by the head) And a MF cockerel (Maple) is going to my friend. I can get head shots if needed. Here are the 9 I have left. And Im fairly certain on my guesses, just want confirmation.
Hope (cockerel):

Pebbles (Pullet):

Dani (Pullet)

Maple (cockerel)

Millie (cockerel)

Myrtle (Pullet):

Marsh (Pullet):

Mallow (???)

Desi (cockerel):

 

[Sussex19]

All correct I think, I'm not sure about Mallow, possibly pullet?

 

[T-R-O-U-B-L-E]

All correct I think, I'm not sure about Mallow, possibly pullet?

I hope so! I have seen him show rooster like behavior such as bowing up at other roosters, but be is a complete baby. He is also the first silkie Ive ever owned. I think he has a single comb (zoom in on pic) which makes me think it would be bigger if he were a rooster.

 

[Painted Calls]

Not sure on the Silkie, but you have the others correct.

All correct I think, I'm not sure about Mallow, possibly pullet?

Agreed. I'm also thinking, Mallow is a pullet.

@FeatherFeetFarm your bantams are so cute! Love their names too! Pebbles is the cutest!

Thanks! I had an Echo and I loved it! I think I'll have an Echo 2.0. I'm getting 2 splash hens and I want to name them Willow and Goose. I'm trying to think of names for the 2 black hens that go with him. I can tell you all of my chickens breeds and names if you want, including past birds.

Ok! Here is my whole chicken story. This is over 2 1/2 years of chicken keeping.
I started with 2:
(Dead) Smoky the Black Silkie
(Dead) Peek-a-boo the Buff Silkie

These died at a few days old.

Then I got 6 more:
(Still own) Little Big Shot, a Black Cochin Bantam:

(Sold) Frazz, A Black Frizzle Cochin Bantam

(Sold) Wildfire the Black Cochin Bantam:

(I still own) Plum the Black Cochin Bantam with a purple leg band

(I still own) Bubblegum the Black Cochin Bantam with a pink legband.

(I still own) Sky the Black Cochin Bantam with a blue legband. She wouldnt hold still. She likes to take to the sky!

Then I got rid of Frazz and Wildfire. I hatched some eggs under a broody hen. One chick resulted.

(Dead) Uno the lonely Black Cochin Bantam

He died from being pecked in the head.

I got an incubator and hatched 3 chicks. Then I bought 2 more from TSC.

(Sold) Soldier the Black Cochin Bantam

(I still own) Sweet Pea the Black Cochin Bantam

(Dead) Boots the Black Cochin Bantam

(Dead) Nugget the Golden Laced Sebright

(I still own) Chipmunk the BB Red OEGB. He had a chipmunk stripe as a chick.

In January, Nugget was killed in a hawk attack. Luckily she was the only fatality. She laid 4 eggs before she died, and I stuck them in the bator. These had been refridgerated for up to a week. From this, I got 2 chicks.

(Dead) Nug Nug the Sebright/OEGB. She was named after her mother.

(Dead) Downy the Sebright/OEGB

We sold Soldier to my friend.

A few months ago, I came home to gnats swarming and Nug Nug and Downy were dead. The next day, Boots also passed from the gnats. So, I hatch 5 Blue Cochin Bantams.

(I still own) Pebbles the Blue Cochin Bantam. See above picture

(I still own) Dani the Blue Cochin Bantam. See above picture

(I still own) Hope the Blue Cochin Bantam. See above picture

(Sold) Echo the Blue Cochin Bantam

(Dead) Mystery the Blue Cochin Bantam

When they were about a week old, I bought 6 chicks at TSC that were about a week old.

(About to sell) Maple the Millie Fleur Duccle. See above picture.

(Trying to sell) Millie the Millie Fleur Duccle. See above picture.

(I still own) Myrtle the Millie Fleur Duccle. See above picture.

(I still own) Marsh the Red Pyle OEGB. See above picture.

(I still own) Mallow the Partridge Silkie. See above picture.

(Trying to sell) Desi the Golden Laced Sebright. He is named Desi, because he is destined for death. Just like the 3 other Sebrights or sebright crosses that Ive had. See above picture.

I accidently hatched 6 black chicks under a hen. I didnt name them and sold them when they were under a week old. I sold Echo with them. Then, Mystery was eaten by a snake. Thats where I'm at now!
