23 weeks... satin silkies

Still no crow or eggs
I thought the paint was a roo, but now I’m not so sure.

My black frizzle is supposedly a few weeks older and it looks like they’ve maxed out on size for now.

Sorry I couldn’t get better photos of black frizzle, he’s really just a ball of feathers and also looks extra ridiculous because his trimmed crest and beard are now growing back

What is the age? The look to be pullets.

The splash looks very hennish. I’m not sure about the frizzle though.

I agree. The splash for sure, the frizzle also looks to be but you don't really get feather clues from them. The beards do not help, but I'd still expect to see more on the comb front at that age, and definitely some crowing too if they're not absolutely bottom of the pecking order submissive to an older dominant rooster(and if that's the case, bring them indoors overnight, my submissive boys will often crow once they're away from the flock.)

They're both kept in a separate smaller run from my other girls, and indoors at night. no crows yet sometimes the frizzle boks a bit loudly, but I don't know whether it's trying to crow or just getting their adult voice. Both are fairly quiet, but they still peep from time to time...

Paint is 23 weeks, the person who sold them to me said the frizzle is a few weeks older. But the frizzle was stunted a bit earlier on, so biologically it may not be more mature than Paint...

I hope they are, though honestly I wouldn't mind if either are roos, they have great temperaments.
I'd just need to give them away if they got too loud

Learning crows can be a little strangled, sometimes a bit honk-y. But a chatty hen/pullet will make a range of noises from a gentle bokbok to the sound of a kettle boiling. I think you'd have crows by now if they were boys, with that set up.

 

[JadeFarms]

They both look like girls but it’s hard to tell with frizzles. The splash is definitely a girl.

The frizzle's posture makes me think cockerel.
