I have one that is very similar to your 2 that is now 18 weeks and coming close to lay as she is now squatting and getting redder in the face, this was her a few weeks ago.

I would lean toward pullet right now.....you can also post them on the "Easter Egger sexing tricks....." thread for some other experienced guesses. They are not always right and sometimes a "general rule" doesn't work....like my red girl was highly guessed boy.....incorrectly but for the most...

If they have been together supervised and seem to being fine you should be safe to leave them. Due to their sweet nature usually silkies are quick to accept newbies.If they seem to get along well you most likely have nothing to worry about. I would be more cautious if you had a more aggressive...

My red girl just as a reminder it's good to wait to prove male/female before you get rid of them.

My feedstore polish were very fragile at the beginning, and had a tough time sleeping because the others were boisterous and the had to always be on alert. The nutridrench is a great suggestion and I separated mine in the brooder by a wire shelving rack that was well secured for the first weeks...

I know! I also seem to be the first to get them and then other matching weird looking birds get posted haha. I finally settled into her for sure being a female yesterday. All her pin feathers are done and she is still a she ;) Uneven red, black throat and all. Btw, Wester is is my problem...

I truly think it is specific to the actual chicken. I got 3 hatchery blue wyandottes....One is the sweetest, friendliest little 3 month old chicken EVER, 2 are more skittish, my EE's are not easy in any way, My Buff Orpingtons are awesome....just not overly friendly but not flighty, My polish...

if she is a she, she is quite the anomaly.I'm preeeety sure she is .....

as a reminder this is what she started out as She is starting her 10th week....still not one pointy feather, her comb is still single row of peas and pale.

No worries, just letting you know. You will probably want to wait for the more definite male signs like saddle feathers or a crow.

Most people won't answer a duplicate post. It looks like a cockerel

you will need to separate them if it were me, your hen will be miserable.There is probably time to get a couple more pullets and get rid of the cockerels. The absolute lowest ratio of rooster to hens for my liking is 1/6 to keep the girls from being miserably overbred.

Roost time is always the last place peace happens with integration. I put mine in the big girl side of the coop last night on the floor, the big girls left them alone (they have been in the coop segregated by chicken wire for a week) to be safe I pulled out the meanest girls and put them on the...

awww too bad as they are pretty sweet. Mine is very quiet so far no louder than a parrot. I bet if you advertise them someone will be interested.

d'Uccle. Porcelain d'Uccle to be specific. How old?
