Alright these babies are ranging from 10-14 weeks so some are too soon to tell.

I think all 3 silkies are Cockerels

The buff orphingtons I have no idea

The rest are of unknown breed

3, 5, and 9 are cockerels for sure. The Silkies are a bit young but none are screaming cockerel yet.

That’s good to know there’s hope for my silkies! I only figured they may be because the head poof is slicked back slightly but I’ll have to wait a few more weeks!

3 started crowing today!!

To help with the identification of the black chicks(Not all), if you got them from TSC, they might be Asian Blacks, which will also occasionally pop up brown instead of black. They are a hatchery mixed breed.

We incubated those! With an unknown rooster and Americaunas (sp?)

9 also is crowing!!

Okay, it was a random guess. More information at the beginning of the post always helps.

3, 9, & 5 look like you're only boys from what I can see.

I hope that’s all! Orphingtons are a new breed to me, I’m not doubting you but I am interested in what features stand out in them that would point towards a boy

Orpington males generally get large red/pink comb, & wattles sooner then females. Females have smaller pale, light pink comb, barely any wattles.
