Males or females? 12 week bantam silkies!

With silkies you have to wait for an egg or a crow! sorry

Nothing in the combs so far to indicate definitive males. Can you post clear side views of their heads showing the crests?

 

[AmandaLou]

Sure!

 

[Matilda Belle]

I think the first one you posted may be a boy based on the comb formation at this age. The others are too soon to say unfortunately.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Sure!

Still too early to be certain. I do not see anything indicating cockerel, but as you may know silkies are difficult. I agree the first one is most likely a male, but I have had females with wide, slightly raised combs at a young age as well. You will just have to wait another month or so, time will tell.

I agree, the first one is the more likely cockerel but it looks like it's still too soon to tell anything for sure.
