7 week old Silkie

[rebeccaH86]

I know it's way to soon and silkies are natroriusly hard to sex but I have to ask do you think this one may be leaning toward cockerel?
They are all 7 weeks (8 weeks tuesday) but this one has mighty big wattles compared to the other 3 .

Silkies are difficult to sex. Update in a few weeks, I’m prob wrong but leaning towards cockerel.

I think the one in question is a cockerel. Big wattles for its age, and also a big comb.

Too young.

Too young to be sure but I am definitely leaning towards cockerel on that one due to the larger comb and wattles as compared to the siblings.

Cute babies!

Ok so update they are 11 weeks old and i have two definite cockerels.

The one in the back in your new picture is def a cockerel. Not sold on the other one, but you're probably right.

I'm only saying it's a male because the other two have nice rounded heads and fluffy bunny tails lol oh and absolutely no wattles, here's a pic of one I'm assuming pullet they both look alike unlike the scragglyheaded "boys" lol

You're probably right. I just hesitate cause Silkies can fool you and since they're not bearded the pullets can get noticeable wattles at this age. I know I had a couple that did in a group of 16, but they were also big, quick growing girls so they threw me off in multiple ways, haha.

99% positive it's a cockerel.
