6 month old Silkies - Roosters? & what color??? - bigger pictures now!

[ChickenWendy]

Kentucky,
If you are ever in VA you can have one! They are the sweetest birds. I figured they were both boys with what i thought were streamers and they have very large combs compared to my black silkie (not pictured) who has almost a nonexistent one. I have 4 more little silkies 2-4 weeks old and i am hoping for at least 1 more hen. I just want a chicken to go broody and i've been told the silkies are the best at that. oh well.

thanks for looking and helping me.
Wendy

If only you were closer, I would be on my way. Those are lovely birds. Silkies are super broodies.

VERY interesting coloring. I like it, personally. Cute!

Those are so pretty.

I have a splash colored silkie with a tiny bit of red in its wings & it is a really nice little bird, too. I love those mixed colors!

I just love the color. Calico! They do look like roos.

I have 10 straight run partridge silkies; they look just like this except they are browns and golds; at this age a cockerel should have started crowing by now and the male is bigger and fluffier than my pullets with more comb and wattle; I think you have pullets that should start laying

Those are not pullets. Silkies generally take longer to develop than most other breeds. I've had some males not crow until they were nearly a year old. PQ silkies tend to develop quicker than better quality birds, which can be nearly indistinguishable from pullets for several months.

They still look like pullets to me but hey I'm just learning.
