silkie sexing

[Little Coop on Salt Creek]

Here are some pics of our 3 little girls.. or at least we hope! Right now, they are 6 1/2 weeks and all look the same with the exception of one being the slightest bit smaller than the other 2.
1 is very outgoing and friendly, one is very timid and one tries to attack my hand when I try to pick her up (which is very comical by the way). Here are some pics of them: Snowball, Missy and Maple (in no particular order).

What do y'all think about this lil one?? She/he is about 7 weeks...I think. My first and only silkie so I have no others to comepare her/him too. Appreciate your best guesses...

That one looks like my pullet did

She's now 12 weeks & still looks girlish.


My 6 wk old is a lot harder. I'm nervous that it could be a male.

That is good to know...I am really hoping for a girl! Wish I could help with your 6 week old...unfortunately I haven't the slightest idea:-/
Thanks for the response!

I have these 2 8-week old silkie chicks. Can anyone give me an educated guess as to the sex of each?

 

[RachsChix]

Still have some buggers we are still trying to figure out...

 

[AmyP716]

Ok so any guesses on the sex of these guys? They have me stumped. They are 11 weeks old and are not show quality.

 

[dustedice]

Any thoughts?? White one is a bit bigger. They are so bonded.

They're only about five weeks old. The speckled one in front has always been a bit bigger even though they're supposed to be the same age. Is it too young to tell male or female?
