That bantam hen is beautiful! What is she?

I've assumed a Japanese Bantam mix, but not entirely sure.

This batch has been full of personality. The Crele cockerel is very dramatic, & acts like I'm gonna kill him every time I go to pick him up.

Okay, looking like I've got 3 cockerels out of the Smarty Pants babies. So, in total 3, Pullets, & 3 cockerels. Oddball Silkie is still looking like a pullet though. Definitely not the best sexing I've done. Now to pick which cockerel stays when they grow up more.

I sexed 2 wrong, out of the experiment batch.
