silkie sexing

[pepsiokay]

They are lovely though! They love snuggling in! I'm keeping them even if they're six Roo's lol

Wow, six Roos! Would you rather have six Roos, or six pullets? They are cute though.

 

[pepsiokay]

Would ideally have five hens and one roo out of this first batch! I already love them so much I can't face the idea of letting any go!

 

[Chickengirl47]

Oh. Did you hatch them?

 

[pepsiokay]

Yeah in an incubator from eggs off of eBay lol

 

[Chickengirl47]

I love the Partridge one!

can you get a group shot of them? the bigger ones i wold guess to be cockerels and the smaller ones pullets

I posted these pics on the regular silkie thread before I knew there was a silkie sexing thread. Can anyone tell me, roo or pullet? They are both 22 weeks old. No egg no crow.









Thanks

black looks like a pullet and buff maybe a cockerel but leaning towards pullet as i do not see any 2 toned coloring on it still a bit young. silkies don't lay till 8-10 months of age sometimes takes longer than that
