Sexing Silkies

Excellent article. Easy to read, descriptive with plenty of relatable images. Had a fun time pausing and analyzing my own silkies behavior. I have 2 silkies, my first ever, and enjoying the heck out of them! Already & currently shopping for more.
The pics attached are from 6 weeks ago. Today we were blessed with our first silkie egg. Sadly it looked like it had been pecked multiple times. I wonder if the other breeds feel jealous because we hold the silkies but the others don’t let us.

This article was very helpful, thank you!

Wow! Great article!

I just got two silkies that are about 7 weeks old and I'm SO glad I found this! I've now found that my favorite is a rooster (that I'm not sure I can keep) oh well! Thanks for this

I have 3 Silkies, all 6 months old (2 roos and one pullet). 10 silkies in the incubator and 21 sizzles in the incubator. All your characteristics are exactly on point, even the beaks. Only difference is, my 2nd silkie roo, does not crow, or shuffle around the pullet. But this may be due to his brother, being a more dominate roo, so he roosts on the poles and acts like a pullet lol.
But "Bravo!!!" You did excellent research here and tought me new things to look for as my new batch hatch.. Below are my 2 boys, and 1 girl

Great article! I loved the example pictures, they showed the differences between pullets/hens and cockerels/cocks very clearly!
