silkie sexing

I think that's a pullet!

thank you!  cross posted on silkie thread and emailed to a silkie friend and is the unamimous decision....  so back to Buffie so long Tanner! 

I concur with "pullet". Looks an awful lot like our female King.

I'm going to guess pullet but it's hard to make a guess without knowing age.

I was told around five month but not sure it looks realy small but this is my first bantam so don't know hoping for a egg sitter

@buzz1994 seems small for 5 months but my silkies have a lot of size variation. I do think it's a pullet tho.

Check on the "partridge only" forum. The dark red saddle feathers may indicate roo

That's what I was thinking as well. Usually my partridge cockerels have more red coloration.

I have two silkies that I'd love for you guys to take a guess at. They are both roughly 3-4 month old. I included front & side views of the 2 in question. Thanks so much!

I've been wrong as often as I've been right...but I would guess Marshmallown is a girl.
