21 week old silkies...any guesses?

[smoon]

Anyone want to help me guess if these silkies are hens or Roos? I started with TEN silkies and one by one they've crowed! Now, 21 weeks later, I'm down to these two and hoping so much one of them is a hen. One is splash and one is white.

Just to clarify, there are only two silkies in question here. (There are three pics of the splash and two of the white)

If they haven't crowed by now, they are most likely hens.

I like to see a photo - face forward with crest held back to see the comb. Since you already had 8 cockerels, I hope nature will give you a break on the two remaining ones. Did you buy straight run?

Okay I got some close ups of the comb and I think it has streamers in its crest. It's a rooster, isn't it! I had very bad odds! Yes I bought ten straight run silkies from a feed store. I was told you can't buy silkie chicks sexed anywhere. I guess next year if a want a couple of hens I better buy 30 chicks! Lol

In the first pics, they both look like hens to me.

In the close ups, I'm not as sure

. But silkies aren't my thing, I'll let the more experienced folks chime in.

Agreed.
