silkie sexing

[silkiemelon]

Here are my daughters two partridge silkies (sun and shine) they are 3 mos. are they old enough to tell the sex?

They both look like pullets to me! At three months things could change but for now they do look like pullets.

Do either sex of silkies have faster growings feathers? I have 3 tha are 5 weeks old. The tails of two of them came in like 2 weeks sooner than the other one. That other one was smaller than those two at the time. They all look about the same now though.

TIA!

In my experience, no. Some shoot forward in growth while others lag behind. Then the slow pokes with feather past the others while the quick ones lag behind. They're some nerve wracking little suckers when it comes to sexing them!!!

Oh, my bad. Page one said at least 4 weeks old. So what age should I post pics again? 4 months?

 

[Chickengirl47]

About 2 or 3 months. Maybe 4 months.
