Sorry I don't have pic of the chicks, the wing feathers are the first sight of silkie feathering- there is no hard feathering on the silkied chicks. Usually the barred chicks have white spots on top of the head. Elongated spot usually indicate a male chick. Some of the females may lack a distinct spot, but it doesn't take long for the wing feathers to come in and then you can tell them apart for sure
