I bred Silkies for a few years... although there can be quite a difference between lines... at the stated age, according to features... I agree this Nugget appears to be a pullet!
Update Nugget is a hen. Unlike her sister (THATS RIGHT BOTH WERE GIRLS PRAISE GOD) she lays and leaves but she’s a hen.View attachment 2015847

This is “Nugget” (my silkies have food names) my original guess has been a boy but no comb streamers at 16 weeks
Thank you. As frustrating as it can be it’s exciting trying to guess but patience is something I’vev been working on lol. We have our “girls” that give us our eggs 2Jersey Giants 2 Rhode Island Reds a Barred Rock a Dominique & our Rooster for them is a Barred Rock. But my Belongs to feathered feet. I have a pullet & cockrol (He’s 25 inches tall ) Light Brahmas white silkie Rooster who is MYBOY! Then the 2 black Silkies. We also have 3 (2 roosters & a hen) Buff Polish. I would love to get into breeding my Brahmas & Silkies.I bred Silkies for a few years... although there can be quite a difference between lines... at the stated age, according to features...

I had heard about that. If I was doing it for anything but fun I may do it.Silkies will drive you crazy trying to sex. I have about 11 I’m waiting on that are 3-4 months old. Some are satins which makes it even more difficult I think. There is a place online you can get a dna gender test for $15 a bird. iqbirdtesting.com
