4-5 month old silkies

I think I have 1 roo and 1 hen, but I don't have a ton of experience. Thanks so much!

I'd need to see their whole body to best guess. I've had hens with just that front fluff though so I wouldn't go by that. Honestly I would guess both pullets. It's still pretty early but they have no real wattles and the 'roo' still has a very small comb. Your 'hen' I can't tell without a good picture of it.

Does one of them have much bigger feet and thicker legs than the other? If so, that could be a clue. If not, your want to wait for streamers which are incoming in one is a cockerel.

Here's an example of some of mine. The brown is a female. The white showgirls are males and they're only 11 weeks old here.

Without seeing other pictures I'd still assume both of yours are pullets.

Thank you for replying! I thought the feathers on the "roo's" head were streamers because they are very different than the other chick's poof and different than my adult silkie. Guess she gets to stick around a little longer!
