10 week old silkies, pullet or Roos?

I’ve got my suspicions, but tell me what you guys think?


1- roo, that mean rooster stance, and he has some red waddles coming in.
2- I was thinking pullet but now I might be thinking rooster? Definitely less dominant but is the same size as 1
3-pullet, she’s little and sweet and has a cotton ball head.

I always judge Silkies by comb development, and I'm not seeing much of it in any of them. Behavior in juvenile chickens isn't the best indicator for sexing. I'm not sure about stance, but you're right, #1 certainly stands like a cockerel. So my guess is #1 is male, the others are females.

#1 also appears to have very big legs so I agree male is a good guess there. The other two I have no idea but hoping pullets for you if that’s what you want!

#1 looks like a male
#2 is looking like a male also, could you get another close up comb picture?
#3 looks like a pullet

I'm leaning towards male on this one. Update in a few weeks to see if anything changes.
