#1 has pretty laid back head feathers which makes me think roo. #3 looks like it has a large comb which tells me roo. The other two look like hens to me.
I honestly don't know what color she is! The breeder told me partridge splash when I sent her a picture and asked. She is mostly black with a gold ring of feathers around her neck. Very odd coloring!
This morning when I went out to feed my silkies I noticed this little girl has a split in her beak! I've never experienced this with our barred rocks and I am clueless as to what caused it overnight or how to fix it.
See the buff is the one that has me so confused! That one acts like a hen 100% of the time even acts nurturing to my younger silkies I have in there. But most definitely looks like a Cockerel! Silkies confuse me so much haha. Thank you for your input!
I tried to get another picture of him/her, but that one hates being handled so I wasn't able to get him to come near me. I'm going to stick with what you said though because I was guessing that same. I have 6 babies that I'll have to start guessing on in a few months! Thanks for your help
