20-week-old Silkie genders?

[Alexandra33]

I've finally narrowed down my Silkie clan to 2 obvious cockerels and 5 definite pullets....except for these three enigmas. Both males are already crowing/courting/dominating, while said trio hasn't yet engaged in such behavior as of yet. Could someone more experienced than me in the Silkie field put my mind at rest?

The trio looks like all pullets to me.

They are adorable !! I am also having the same problem. My Silkie "Little" we have no clue if it's male or female. Little was born the end of March of this year. We are first time chicken owners and couldn't be happier. We are just so curious about our silke. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Goodness sakes, what does it take for us to get cockerels around here? It never fails, 90% of the time I buy straight run, I hope for half or more males. And what do I get? An overwhelming number of pullets! Thank you so much for your input.

What a beauty! Although I'm by no means Silkie expert yet, currently leaning heavily towards pullet on your pretty fluff.

I am thinking all 3 first silkies are pullets and the little black one is a pullet.

They do all look like likely pullets, but watch those combs and feathers. Things could change. As for the last one (black), that one looks like a pullet to me for sure.

Thank you all for your help! Upon further observation, I do believe my first suspect is indeed a cockerel (oh, joy! ). A quick listen to their voices was telling.
