At 8 weeks she's too young to be sure but she looks to be a pullet so far. I would repost in 2-4 weeks.

I'm asking about the pet quality silky on the left. He or she? He or she is 20 weeks old. I have never seen it try to mate my hens. Never heard it crow but still am on the fence about this one's gender.

That comb is screaming cock to me

That is what I think too. S/he has never been caught crowing or mating the hens. Could he be afraid of my other roo?

Hi everyone! Great thread! I'm looking for help on sexing 2 of my 3 silkies. They are all about 3 months old. These are (from left to right)- horus, smaug, and gizzmo
I'm certain that Smaug (the white silkie) is a boy. He started crowing yesterday. He is considerably bigger than the other two and also has the large comb and significant waddles. I'm hoping that the other two are hens but I am worried that they are just beta roosters. Any help would be appreciated!

Close-ups of Chick #3 (Gizzmo):

For reference, close-ups of Chick #2 in the picture (Smaug)... the known roo:

I think this one may have gotten lost in the shuffle. Can anyone help me out with the two in the front?

@brittanym00 They all look like males to me

Im guessing the white is your only roo

I posted, a couple of weeks back, the 2nd set of pics of my 4 silkies that my silkie pair hatched. My question is:
I see a distinct set of wattles on my Sammie, and on one of the others I see smaller but will-be wattles. On a 3rd, I see a hint. On the 4th none.
Is it that Only cockerels (silkie cockerels) will have any wattles at all? Or might pullets have tiny wattles too? If wattles are a sign of male gender I believe I had 3 boys!
