I have 2 White silkies that are 13 weeks old and an 8 week old buff mix that I would like some opinions on. The buff looks like it may be a rooster to me, but I’m still stumped on the 13 week olds!! I greatly appreciate any opinions!! 😁

Thats a hen! At 11 weeks, a male would have wattles and have a redder comb. Would probably be crowing too! Here is one of mine about 9 weeks old.

I’m sure it will take a couple weeks to find a home anyway. But I’m pretty confident they are Roos. None of my other pullets of these breeds had this much comb with color at this age.

5 weeks!

I cannot have roosters where I live now. I was pretty convinced that these two are cockerels and posted to a local group trying to rehome them. However, someone posted saying I was wrong, so I want some more opinions!! Thanks in advance!!😁 They are about 5 weeks old.

All of the leghorns shown in these posts appear to be pullets to me. At 4-5 weeks cockerel leghorns will have a large red comb and waddles. The pullets combs are larger than most breeds at this age, but they stay yellow. This is the best guide I have found for leghorns...

Thank you! Yes, I have some from a recent burn. That is what I have been applying.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!!! She is so cute and such a little sweetie!! 🥰 I will update with photos as she grows!!

I wasn’t aware that they even got that hot, I’ve never used one. I did a quick google search and all I can find are some other larger chicks that got burned in their wings and backs!

Yes, it does appear damaged/burnt. I just posted another photo of how it looked between ointment applications.

The skin does appear to have some damage, I tried ti get a better picture of it before I re-applied the ointment. Don’t mind the greasy face feathers, that was from the ointment!!

Yes, eating drinking behaving perfectly normal! Quite playful and energetic, doesn’t seem to be bothered by it at all! 😁

I just got this Silkie chick and the breeder said it burnt its poof on a heat plate. It does seem that the skin was damaged as well. I didn’t care, it was so cute I couldn’t resist!!🥰(it was the only other unclaimed Silkie she had, aside from the blue I got) It seems perfectly healthy acting...

Here are my latest additions!! Blue cuckoo and buff Roo over gray penciled frizzle!! They are so adorable!! If anyone has any idea what the buff Roo over gray penciled frizzle chick will look like when mature, your thoughts would be appreciated!! Enjoy the sweetnesses!! 😍

I’m getting a new chick this weekend, the breeder said it was Buff Silkie Roo over Grey penciled Frizzle hen. Can anyone tell me what I should expect it to look like? I’m so curious!! Any thoughts appreciated.

1,8,9,and 10 look like OEGB’s either silver Duckwing or bbr. 2,3,4 look like black Cochin. 5 Golden Sebright, 6 porcelain D’uccle. 7 agree with buff Cochin.

At 5 weeks I would expect a larger redder comb on a leghorn cockerel. All look pullet to me!!

The Silkie should feather out white. Mine with that color down were white. cute little sweeties you have there!!

Looks like a Silver Duckwing cockerel to me!! Handsome little guy!! This was mine at about 5 eeeks old!!
