Aloha! Any silkie experts here? In wondering if I could get an opinion on the sex of my 8 week old babies. The black one started out smaller than my other but now it's larger, I haven't noticed wattles and they do a funny tail raise when I pet down their back. Their comb is fairly smooth and slightly raised.

My Patridge is getting very fluffy feathers around their face and isn't as friendly, but I'm also not noticing any wattles. They are not as photogenic. Their comb is also fairly smooth and slightly raised. 😊Thank you in advance!

Bumping this....

I've posted here and in a couple of FB groups but not getting any responses. Sorry if this isn't allowed. 🤷‍♀️
 
It's too early to tell for silkies though I think they may both be dudes but it's too early to say for certain
Thank you for the response. They look so different from each other so I was hoping at least one of them would be pullet. :th
 
I’m not seeing anything that screams cockerel but I feel like either of them could go either way. I think you’re probably not getting tons of responses cause these ones are especially tough IMO :barnie. My silkie cockerel had a single comb so he was more obvious. Hope you update in the future to see how it plays out!
