These are my 3 silkies!
I posted this in the wrong spot before....I think I am in the right place now.

As you can see there is one that does not have a tail at all (I think she is a "she" and she is at the bottom of the peck order)
They come from a show-quality breeder (i wont be showing them). They are about 3 months old and we are pretty sure we have one boy (hopefully just one).

THE BOY (FOR SURE HE IS....99.99% sure he is a boy). His neck feathers are differnt than the other two, he has those differnt feathers on his tail, the size of his head and face is bigger (and he is a little over a week younger than the other two), he is the BOSS, calls them over when he finds good stuff eat, likes to do the bump chest thing, huge bump on his comb....i know he is a boy, just waiting for the crow! (he will probably have to guy when he start crowing)

#1 looks more like a pullet to me ...looks a lot like my pullet # 2 is kinda hard could be a roo just cuz of the feathers on top of the head....#3 looks like a roo to me but pullets i guess can have all those characteristics too my pullet is 17 week took her forever to get all fluffy she looks like a mini emu and is at the bottom of the pecking order. I'm no expert at all lol I only have 1 silkie
