I'm trying to figure out what gender my Silkie chicks are. I've had them for a little over 5 weeks and not sure when they were hatched. I'm posting a few pix, hope someone can help. The white one seems to have a brain like mash, the Black one seems to have the beginnings of a raised comb and the splash doesn't appear to have anything going on...I hope there is at least one hen, I don't know what I'll do with 3 Roos?!?! Thanks in advance for any help that is offered...I may have better pix I can search for more or take new ones~DSC00370.JPGDSC00387.JPGDSC00392.JPGDSC00324.JPGDSC00325.JPGDSC00326.JPG

Thanks for your input, I was thinking the same about the white one. They're all developing differently and not knowing is driving me crazy. It'll be so sad to have all Roos....I took more photos today, I can try and post those too.

I was only suppose to get one rooster and that is one of the white ones there is also a white hen hopefully. I really want the splash to be a hen. The buff is suppose to be a hen too. They are 5 to 6 months old.
Thanks for your help
