Hen or Rooster? Not sure if I am postin gin the right place but I have a 8 silkie chicks about 4 months and am trying to start weeding out the roos, this is one of 2 paints that I received (they were all a gift from my family for Christmas so I was not there to pick them out...

Here we go again, had 4 chicks last year 3 were roos and couldn't bring myself to separate the last pair (hen and roo) so rehomed them together.....for Christmas I was given 8 more silkie chicks they are now about 3-4 months old.. so I am starting the process of trying to weed out the roos as I...

updating...ended up with three roos and one hen was sure I had 2 hens and then one morning yellowbeek crowed!! at that point I was odwn to a pair and couldn't break them apart so gave them to a local farmer that still sends me pics of them....now I am back to square one only this time I have 8...

updateing - yes he was a roo :(

I just double checked and yes yellow beak does have black skin - she is the most timid of the bunch - possibly because she has the biggest crest which I imagine makes it hard to see. she is the only one of the bunch that has the red/pink comb though. I took this picture at the farm where i got...

I have added some more photo's of this bird in the next post (still figuring this site out and how to reply etc..)

He/she is suppose to be bearded - they didnt have any non bearded parents there - the other three have bushy heads and beards but this one is a little different - late bloomer maybe? its definitely the most aggressive and attentive - will try and get a better picture when i get home from work...

Thank you for replying - behavior wise I was pretty sure he was a roo - but wanted to be sure - Just praying that I get at least 2 hens from the remaining three! Will post pics of them when I can get a chance to take their pictures.

Can anyone tell me if this is a Rooster? I bought 4 silkie chicks this one looks totally different from the others - always runs in front of the others for food - chest bumps with one of the other suspected roos - if one of the other birds finds a bug he will charge after it and try to steal it...

I bought 4 silkie chicks I am not allowed to have roosters so am trying to find out the gender before they start crowing if possible. This guy looks very different from the others - is always the first to charge toward food when its given and seems to be the most dominate in the bunch. he...
