A pair of 13 and 14 weeks old silkies.. gender?

[Snowflake83]

Hi everyone. My chicks are 22 and 23 weeks old. No crowing yet and no eggs. The waiting is killing me. This is how they look like now...

 

[MysteryChicken]

They should start crowing within a few months from now.

I won’t be able to keep them if you are right. Cockerels are not permitted in the area were I live. They both have lovely temperaments. Very sweet birds...

Okay, do you know anybody who can take them?

 

[MysteryChicken]

The strange thing is that their brother (he is 23 weeks old now) started crowing one month ago. My friend, his owner, recorded him when he first started crowing.

Okay.

soooo cute.

Very, cute.
Love my silkies.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Not really... a friend of mine said she can keep them until I find someone who wants them. It is heartbreaking.

At least they'll get a temporary home.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Anymore questions?

 

[MysteryChicken]

Thank you for your replies.

You're welcome.

I don't see what mysterychicken is seeing. They look like pullets. Here's my roughly 3 1/2 - 4 month old cockerel. Notice the comb and streamers on his head. The random stray feathers.

I see streamers on the OPs silkies.
