    Starting to think this is a roo

    Based off the long legs, the feathers sticking out on the legs, and what appears to maybe be streamers, I’m thinking this may be a rooster. Was sold to me as a hen so I’m not sure if I should contact the seller or what. Just because I bought it as a “pair” with another rooster so now I’m stuck...

    Silkie gender guesses

    Hi everyone. I have 3 silkies Im unsure about. The white and chocolate are roughly 5 months old and the chocolate mottled is 2 months old. I’m actually thinking that mottled is a rooster tho because out of all the juveniles I’ve had, this is the first to had a visible round comb and waddles...

    Is this silkie a hen or a roo?

    I can’t figure out if this silkie is a hen or a rooster. He has a crest that somewhat resembles a roosters typical crest. Does anyone know if this looks like a hen or a roo? I attached photos of my silkie.

    Is this silkie a roo?

    This baby is about 14 weeks old. Was sold as a pullet but I think it might be a rooster. I’ve only had two silkie hens so I don’t have any real experience. Thoughts?

    6 week silkie gender guesses

    I have a silkie chick that’s about 6 weeks old, I know it’s awfully soon to guess their gender but I am hopeful there may be an expert out there. We have two wyandottes as well and they were sexed as hens when we got them but of course the silkie was part of a straight run. The comb is the most...

    Sexing a 3.5 month Bantam Silkie, Pullet or Roo?

    This bantam Silkie behaviorally I think is a hen. They are the lowest in the pecking order of a four chicken mixed flock (two Easter eggers, two Silkies) they are skittish, and don’t try to get to higher places like the other Silkie. Usually they walk more squat than the other Silkie (like...

    Curious of any comments

    I understand it’s way too early to tell but I feel fairly confident in one of my gender guesses and keep going back and forth on the other one. I was wondering if anyone saw anything that made them think one way or the other foe either of them. In terms of behavior they chest bump at times, and...

    Silkies but feathers looking frizzled?

    Sold as 100% silkies but their feathers look different than most pictures I’m seeing online, they almost look frizzled. Is it just too early to tell what they will look like? Both have black skin, well feathered feet, 5 toes, & seemingly flat area where the comb will be. I know the brown is...
