I'm voting Cockerels, behavior wise and the crest shape. Plus at least personally I wouldn't expect to see wattles on pullets that same age

#1 blue Cochin (might be black) looks like a pullet for now #2 red Cochin Cockerel #3 red Cochin maybe pullet #4 gold laced Cochin, looks like a pullet for now Silkies are probably still a bit young to accurately sex, although I don't see any egregious comb development #1 white silkie #2-4...

In my experience, hens that crow don't do it when they're babies unfortunately:( I've only had hens crow when they're mature

Little bit young but I'd agree to keep an eye on them, that's fairly young to be reddening

1. Small comb, looks like pullet right now 2. Comb is pretty wide & red for the age, leaning cockerel. Lots of white in the pattern, usually means boy. 3. Comb also pretty red for the age, assuming cockerel 4. Color and comb looks like pullet to me 5. Part silkie so this one may need longer...

Where did you get him? May just be a mixed breed, he is very gorgeous!

Both appear to be pullets currently to me

Definitely seems to be the color of Welsummers, however I'd expect the chicks to be darker hmm... It'll definitely be easier to tell for sure once they're older!

Most common with that color is Sussex, and the comb at that age makes me unfortunately think too :(

Thank you for the response! I'll pass it off to the family and we'll keep our fingers crossed. Definitely no breeding, no roosters for us unfortunately with the current neighbors we have being not big fans of chickens as it is.

Ah yes we're aware! It's our first time ever having a self blue and we're very excited that she is a little lady! Bummer that the crele turned out to be a cockerel though :(

Might just be something like a buff orpington, do you have any more photos? Usually OE & EE at feedstores are bred to have beards

Where did you get her?

4 & 6 look like pullets, however the rest look like cockerels to me. The colors on 3 & 5 are what make me think cockerel, the other two it's the combs

Unfortunately looks to be a cockerel :( Wattles & comb are fairly big for that age and pretty red
