2 Silkie Bantams...Help! I think I got 2 boys again!!

[Feath3rDust3r]

2 springs ago we raised silkies and got all boys, this summer we tried again...I think all boys again!!! Can anyone tell me for sure? They're about 5 months.

I'm also worried about the one in the second pic...we have 3 hens with runny noses!!

How old are they?

 

[Feath3rDust3r]

5 months

First one is a cockerel. The second one might be a hen.

If they are 5 months old I'd say they are both pullets.

Here's my silkie at about a year old. I'm still not sure if it's a he or she !!

Looks like a rooster to me....have you heard any crowing?

 

[Feath3rDust3r]

No. Not at all. And there's no long saddle feathers

My guess is the black one is a cockerel and the partridge is a pullet. There should be crowing soon if the black is a boy.

ETA: oops. Didn’t realize I responded back in January. The black one still looks boyish to me. But no crowing yet? Hmm.
