Mine seem pretty obvious as well. The boys are bigger and more playful. Also their "hair do" is more Elvis and swept back while the smaller, mellower girls have a poof ball on their head.

I agree. You can tell a lot from their muffs. I would say my boys tend to have mohawks while my girls like you said, have a large poof look.

I had one I swore was a hen, then one day it crowed

Silkies should not have Single combs or red wattles.

Checked the photos. The last photo, you said maybe you see it here.

I guess the back is a rooster and the front is a hen. The rooster's head does not have a rounded puff and the front one does. Did I guess correctly? Regards, Aria

and this ones a boy?

PS I know that the second isn't a purebred. and it has a single comb

Thats my guess after watching them for hours. But I still will wait for the crows.



I guess maybe mine R not pure silkies....I thought they were just the non-bearded kind???​
