8 week old silkies gender

[H-B-O]

That’s what I was thinking, but I’m no expert. I will post some updated pictures in a couple of weeks just to be sure.

Ok! The way the comb is raised and is kind of rolling makes me think boy

The white one looks like a pullet , the buff one has me leaning to a pullet, but it very well could be a cockerel. Does the buff one stand tall? I’ve notice with cockerels , they tend to stand proud and be a bit more confident.

It does stand tall the majority of the time. We sometimes joke about it being a giraffe as it has such a long neck hahah.

Updated photos of the possible cockerel, it’s comb hasn’t grown a massive amount but seems to have more folds in it. Haven’t managed to get pics of the white ones comb yet as she won’t stay still enough haha.

Pullet

Looks like a pullet. Silkies are hard to sex so there are no guarantees

Any updates?!

Any updates?!

We’re pretty confident they’re both pullets, we found a tiny egg yesterday and it’s definitely come from one of them, just not sure which one yet.

I'm so glad to hear that! Enjoy your soon-to-be-many eggs my friend
