This is spec He/she is 4 weeks old I have been thinking girl but am not sure I know she is young she is 4 and half weeks old almost 5 weeks. Boy or girl? I am hoping she is a girl...

I think with silkies you need to wait until they start crowing or laying eggs to know for sure

I don't think they experts even claim to be able to sex them young. Pretty bird though.

Wishful thinking..lol

First thought was boy; the I saw the one that showed penciing--Can you take a close up of the wings? If penciled throught, pullet. If penciled only on primaries and possibly secondaries, cockerel.

 

[Teresaann24]

Yes I can get pics of the wings..

Woohoo I was so hoping so! She will be my 1st frizzle chick from my frizzle roo that I rehomed. Now if the other partidge chick is a boy it will be perfect!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Sonoran Silkies!
