Hi! I was hoping someone could help me. I bought these 5 hens from a local farm, she sexes them and has had success but I have a few in question.. here is a description of the breeds (copy and paste) although I am not sure which is which except the silky. I was hoping yall could please help me identify their breeds as well as their sex! They are 8 weeks old for reference.
I have a F1OE silkie, ISAx F1 OE, a CLBx EE that could lay a shade of green or Olive, and an Australorpx OE 😊

I have attached pictures of them!

The brownish red one with a tiny pale comb and the all black one with the crest are your only pullets. Everyone else is without a doubt male. The all black one is fibromelanistic, and I can't quite tell what kind of comb it has, so it could still prove to be a rooster because it's harder to tell.

Are there two gray birds pictured or just same bird at different angles/ages? If so, the one in IMG_7411 looks like a pullet from that angle but can't be sure.
 
I only see two pullets, a black and and ee, can you get shots of the silkues comb area?

Hi! Which one is the EE? And the black one with the red comb you think is a pullet? Let me try and get a better pic here is the silky from several angles.

Just 1 gray bird. I am leaning towards pullet on her as well. I am mainly concerned about the one orange chicken and the black one with the white feathering and red comb (she is of course my favorite lol)
 
This may be your only girl, the cream legbar based ee, the silkie is a likely cockerel as well and unfortunately, the beak issue will only get worse as he ages a d will need special attention.

She is definitely the most promising hen. I just hope the others are as well. How can you be sure silky is a cockerel. Yes, it has gotten worse but still eats, drinks and interacts as fine as the others!
