Hi! I currently have 9 silkie chicks ages 7-8 weeks. Is it possible to determine gender at this age? 5 of them are partridge and 4 are white. Thanks!

Oh! I hope at least one is a hen. lol. One looks like a hen ( to me). Specifically number 6. The other 2 are certainly roosters. Not sure about chick 4. He is very curious and his new trick is to bunny hop ( yes he does that). When he hatched I had to pull him out of the incubator because he got over-excited about another chick that hatched and he jumped all over her. I thought roosters are usually more curious than hens. Like, I do have curious hens but my little cockerels are always more curious. Am I right?

That's so cute! I don't really know if cockerels are more curious though .
