This one looks roo - looks like streamers on his head.

Hard to tell, but I would guess hen - looks powder puff on top.

Any suggestions to what my new silkies are would be great! Pretty sure the white is a Roo, comb is raised and not sure on the others there combs are pretty flat. The breeder was no help...hoping for hens.

These two are the same age (hatched 10/2/15), they are supposed to be girls, yet I am starting to think the top one is a boy... He/she is bigger and has these "sticks" shooting up from the head. Thank you in advance!!!

12 weeks or so I think. Fingers
Crossed for a hen! No comb at all so far. What do you think?
