Ah, I’m so happy to hear that! Is it the small comb that gave it away? Thanks so much!

Yes!😀 Can you tell me what gave it away? I actually thought my paint could be a cockerel because she looks a little different than my partridge. Thanks so much!

Ah, that’s good news then! Can you tell me what gave it away? Is it the small comb?

Hello there. I’m new to owning silkies. I started with 5 bearded silkies of various colors. One by one they each started to crow. They all started crowing pretty early on. Now I’m left with 2. I am sure my partridge is a pullet but am unsure about my paint. Hatch date was May 1st so it is about...

I’ve been scratching my head wondering why my breeder was telling me it was a splash🤣 Thanks for clarifying. I’m knew to this and have learned so much from everyone here. So maybe, there is hope my black can still be a pullet?🥴 Wishful thinking?

@HeatherKellyB thanks for all your help!

I just had to rehome my little guy yesterday. He looked just like yours! I was told mine is a mix breed. Possibly ameraucana/polish. Have you tried some local feed stores? They may take him in.

@LadiesAndJane, you mentioned black with gold leakage is a cockerel. I’ve been looking online to learn more about it but haven’t seen much out there on this topic. Do only males have gold leakage?

My splash has a beautiful crown but he’s 2xs bigger than the rest of the silkies, large comb, and the crow answered my suspicions. But, hearing from you has really helped. Thanks again!

Aren’t they just the best? I absolutely love my silkies. Great pets to have for sure.

I appreciate all of your feedback. Thanks so much!

This is a close up of my paint with her crest pulled back.

I do have a plan for him but yes, it will be hard.

Mine are all pretty chatty throughout the day, but the flapping from my splash and the three attempts to crow was definitely a sound that has never come out of any of them. Well, we started with 4 and now I’m down to one pullet maybe 2. I think from now on, I may just get DNA sexed silkies.

He’s beautiful. I sure wished I lived in an area where I can keep roosters.

All of my silkies are just the sweetest too even though some of them could be cockerels. cockerels.

I will try to get a better picture of the combs in the morning and post it here. Unfortunately, I can’t keep roosters in my city.

I’ll try to get a better picture of them tomorrow. My splash started to crow this morning. Is it too early for silkies cockerels to crow at 12 weeks? Would you happen to know if pullets make a crow like sound?
