At 17 weeks roos would have more wattle growth my white silkie at 17 weeks had huge wattles but he was a standard hatchery and had a single comb. Are they standard or bantam sized?

I'm leaning towards pullet.

They are bantam breeder quality. They are also bearded so won’t show wattles.

Which one? or both?

Ok, they still look more like pullets but silkies can be a bit tricky i would get a few more opinions

 

[Rhodebar Lover]

I'm thinking both pullets, but Silkies are tough. I'm debating on the last one more so

 

[JadeFarms]

Silkies are probably the hardest chicken there is to sex but they both are probably pullets.

 

[Wezdin]

Which one? or both?

Both

 

[Heather94]

Ok awesome I was thinking both of them were boys
