Hey! I purchased three silkie hens a year ago, I was under the impression they where all hens, but recently I have become curious as to the sex of one of them, she/he has an almost entirely different body shape to the other two, doesn’t brood as the other two do, and is vastly more vocal. I know for certain the other two lay, but I’ve yet to confirm that Dolly, the silkie in question, does lay. I realise that British silkies and American silkies appear to be different in appearance but I’m hoping someone may have an answer for me! I’ll attach photos of Dolly (white silkie) alone, and some with all the fluffy butts together! Thank you!

This is an interesting one indeed! I do not really see any secondary male characteristics, i.e. saddle feathers or development of streamers in the crest. Not completely unheard of for silkie hens to be over a year old before they lay.Can you get a close-up of the comb with the crest pulled back with one hand?

Sooooo glad I stumbled on to this post! I just ordered my new flock of assorted chicks ( all of our seniors have passed but one….and Chuckles was getting quite lonely) Most pullets were out of stock, so I went with straight runs and will prolly end up with several Roos.
