Silkies are hard to sex, but I look for spurs and their combs. But I also have some silkie pullets with huge combs, so it's really hard to tell. The only thing that's seemed to work 100% of the time, is just waiting until their between 4-6 months when they'll start crowing. Then it will be a...

Yes, that is a brown silkie. I would guess pullet.

Certain that all three birds are hens/pullets (: Congrats

Yes! They are about 5 months old now. They ended up being sultans, and the last chick was a grey cochin. They are very beautiful and all healthy! Thanks for the insite

Turkin!

TURKIN! Knew it the minute I saw it. They're hideously beautiful chickens.

FRIZZLE!!! Congratulations. That is one beautiful bird..

I have two EE's and they both look very similar (face wise), and are both hens. I believe your's are also pullets.

I have two EE's, and i'm pretty sure you chicken is a hen!

100% pullet! I have four silkies, two black and two white, and have been raising this breed for years. Congrats!

They totally look like Sultans... Do you think both chicks are? Only one had the feathers growing in on its head.

They have several extra toes, just like silkies do.

They do have yellow skin.

We got them at the tractor supply in Kuna, Idaho. The bin they were in was labeled as "assorted bantams"

We received 5 chicks that are about 2 weeks old. I made a post when my family and I first got them in attempt to find out their breed. Now that they are a little bit older, we are noticing that one looks different from the others. We believe that all 5 are a porcelain belgian bearded d'uccle and...

I completely agree! We bought ours from tractor supply yesterday, and the sales associate wouldn't let us touch or hold any of the chicks while we were picking them out. It was ridiculous because they were just labeled as "assorted bantams" AND they required us to get them in sets of 6! Stupid.

Too young to identify the type of bird?? That seems a bit silly...

Hello! My family and I just bought 5 bantam chicks, but do not know the type of chickens they are. They are very young (probably only a few days, if that), but it would be nice to know what to identify them as. We bought them them thinking they were white bearded silkies, but made a huge mistake...

Those are both bantams of some sort. It would be easy to narrow down the options if you posted another photo of their feet. Not very many bantams have feathered legs. I'm guessing the top silver one is a Self Blue Old English Game and the bottom black i'm 100% sure is a black cochin chick. Hope...

Those do look quite a bit like my birds, but mine aren't tinted blue. I will definitely keep that breed in mind! Thanks for your suggestion!
