Hi! I know it may still be a bit early, but wondering everyone’s thoughts on my silkie and tolbunt polish’s gender. I will report back once they lay eggs or crow to follow up! I always hate when you never find out on these threads. Thanks in advance!

@LadiesAndJane i read on another thread you’re the resident silkie expert, would you mind weighing in?
Hardly an expert, but I do raise Silkies!🤣
Have to agree the Silkie is looking male. You you can see the comb is a little bit bumpy, this is the first sign at this age, though too early to be difinitive, this one can still go either way.
Your Polish looks female at this age.😊

Thank you! I was starting to get worried about the comb. He/she is just so easy going and bottom of the pecking order in their little crew, but also my first silkie so I don’t know their temperaments as well as some other types.
 
Update of the babes now at 13 weeks!
