6 week old silkie chicks

[lollydolly]

Hi wonder if anyone can help. I know silkies are nutouriously hard to sex, however, I'm going to see and buy 3 6week old silkie chicks tomorrow. There's a few chicks there to choose from so my question is.... Is there anything that I should look out for on 6 weekers that would increase my chances of getting 3 hens? I know there is obv a good chance ill end up with a cockeral but I'd prefer to be lucky enough to avoid this.

Many thanks in advance

Try looking at comb sizes.

From what I've read look at the crest... points back away from the head = roo ... rounder/floppier = hen

Good luck!
Post pics after you get them, and then update the thread after you know what they are for sure. Helps future silkie owners.
