The good old silky guessing game of “is it a roo?” has been going on for two months lol Does anyone with experience have any guesses. We’ve never had silkies before so really aren’t sure. They look and act pretty much the the same so I’m guessing they are both one sex or the other. They are in with 2 easter egger and 2 lavender orpingtons and all their temperaments seem about the same although the orpingtons like to be petted held more.

B looks like a roo. I’m not sure about A. but I’m Still not too good a guessing genders of Silkies. I would say roo because of the tail feathers and crest( but I a hen with the same kind) the comb is very nobbley but not very big.
