I think you’re all right. I was freaking myself out prematurely!

How are your babies going? I’ll attach a pic of my 18 week old pullet. I would love to see how yours have developed & who turned out to be pullets/cockerels

Was Ronnie a boy? I’m having the same issue with mine. The first two have more of the pattern and the last two are more solid black but I’ve noticed they have very mix matched features.

Ronnie turned out to be a lovely cockerel. Out of yours, I’m thinking at least 1, 2, and 4 are cockerels, and possibly 3 as well. I’m just going off the comb size, really. They’re got pretty big combs. How old are they?

Ahhh! I thought it was a cockerel too. I was hoping we would find out. Thank you

They are roughly a month thank you for the reply

How are your babies going?

Oh my gosh! I have not been getting notifications from this thread for some reason!

Here are my 3 hens. Top is Foggy. I don’t think she’s laying yet even though she’s the biggest roundest and fluffiest meatball of a bird. 2nd pic is Misty. She’s the smallest of the 3, the most light silvery-blue color, and was the first to lay. Last pic is Hazy who has the most blue and started laying almost immediately after Misty.

And Cloudy the unexpected cockerel who has stolen my heart. He’s so amazingly handsome. He’s currently living in a bachelor pen but now that “his” girls are laying, they’re going to go in a breeder pen soon.

Your girl is gorgeous! She looks double laced. Mine are all single laced

Was Ronnie a boy?

As someone else mentioned, Ronnie did turn out to be a cockerel. I think your 1 & 4 are definite cockerels. 2 & 3 could be, too, based on the redness in the combs already. But that can also be due to lighting in the pics.

This is my blue Barney at 6 weeks. He’s a boy!

Do you still have this guy? I’d love to see what he looks like now. We opted to keep Cloudy the blue because Ronnie’s color was really not great. His silver was goldish and he had red/gold leakage on his wings. He was also extremely timid, flighty, and fearful.

Cloudy on the other hand I love his color and he’s been a nice easy going guy so far. He likes being around people and will eat out of hand, but won’t let me touch him. He’s never been aggressive nor tried to be dominate with me.
