I'm new to chicks. I know this is just a guessing game at this age, so I'm just looking for your best guess. I can keep roosters where I'm at but I was hoping these two would be a breeding pair. I have a few younger silkie in a brooder so there's still hope for hens.
Suspected Roo #1
Frizzle silkie, straight run
Possibly 5-6 weeks, midway feathering out.
Mostly docile other than getting into chest bumps with known rooster of same age, jumps in the air to avoid him too. Acts defensive of the larger white silkie below but sometimes hides under them.
Suspected Roo #2
Silkie, straight run
Possibly 7-8 weeks, fully feathered
I thought this one was female but I'm second guessing myself with the feathers on the back of head and wide comb. Docile other than some pecking at others.
