Oh i love them!! I was cuddling with my black silkie tonight, she fell asleep and was trilling 🥰

Youre welcome!! I was going so crazy figuring out my silkies, and dreading the thought of rehoming (i cant keep roosters) so dna testing was a mental health saver for me 😂

Ok if mine looked like this, id say hen, because that would be a big crest for a hatchery non-bearded... but being show quality, i think the crest would be a lot poofier on a female. I think you might have some streamers starting (looks like there are some thicker crest feathers coming in). but...

So i *think* this is a buff with blue splash.. now what that is officially called, I'm not sure. But it is gorgeous!! 🥰

I wonder if its a white paint or white splash?

https://iqbirdtesting.com/ Typically you get your results back within 10 days, including mailing time. But because of covid, it took mine 29 days. But there's no way i could have waited 6+ months to absolutely be sure otherwise!

DNA results are in..... ITS A GIRL!!! Anddddd..... IT'S ALSO A GIRL!! Yayyyy!! Im so happy!

Yea, with silkies it's a roll of the dice. I really hope neither of mine is a Male... i can't keep roosters where i live 😭 and of course we are already attached.

My partridge is smaller than my black one, so i thought the black might be a roo, but then i learned that only works for actual full siblings of the same color. And my two are hatchmates, but totally different lines.

Ok, i think Marty is a roo.. but Princess.. hmm.. i have one that is very similar to princess... nothing overtly male, but not a poofy crest either. I think you need to wait on that one. I should get dna results on my black one hopefully tomorrow.. but it looks super similar to yours.. except im...

Here is my whole gang.. i have house chickens and dogs 🥰

How old is Abner in the latest pic? Sooo adorable. The crest had me wondering about mine.. i wonder every day.

How old are they?

Oh yes, they are definitely show birds, very pretty!! I have 2 hatchery silkies.. sweet, but non-bearded and not poofy crests, so im having a hard time figuring them out (both males and females dont have as much poof for a while). Well.. give it a couple more weeks and see if you get more...

No, those things are normal silkie behaviors. Where did you get your silkies?

Ok.. my final vote is pullet.. she has ever so slight comb development.. the males im seeing waddles and a lot more pronounced comb.. plus her crest screams girl!

Ok im finding references to reddish/purple combs at 13 weeks being roo.. i think that you have a high quality silkie, so both males and females will have such pretty feathering. Let me see what else i find.

Ok im on a mission, let me look for some other pics to compare to .. i want to say pullet tho..

Hmmm, poofy crest, no streamers... but the comb... ??? Would you consider that a U or V shape comb? i am totally hoping you have a pullet there, because that is one beautiful bird!!

If there's no photo evidence otherwise... 😂 My silkies are silly. Every day i open their coop so they can come out and play, and they just sit there, staring. Forcing them out wont help either, they just run back inside. Just tempted them w veggies, and nothing!
