When I got them the breeder said they were 5 weeks old, so that should make them about 9 weeks old now. I personally think they are about 12 weeks old.🤷‍♀️

Aaaanyway, I know 2 of them are cockerels because their combs are huge and starting to turn mulberry colored. These 3 however I'm hoping are girls!

Smallest white satin - pullet?

The look like pullets to me. But with showgirls... @LadiesAndJane is great.

Thanks for the tag @cherrynberry. 😊They both look like pullets to me, too.
Comb may be wide on the second one, but no wattles is more of an indicator at this age in beardless silkies. Agree keep an eye on the grey one.
