ABOUT to pick up white silkies at 12 weeks old. Boy or girl? Aloha!

[kmakani]

Tomorrow I'll be looking at 3 while silkie bantams. They are supposedlt 3 months old. Are their any specific things to look for whether they are girls or boys at this age? I would hate to pick up 3 boys and then have to find homes for them again. I already have roos at home and don't want to see any fights. Many thank yous for your expertise!!!!!!! Aloha!

trying to guess the sex of a silkie is 50/50 untill it lays or crows...

Yikes. There is no kind of physical way of even guessing?

At 12 weeks old look for ones with smaller combs. Ones with wide or bumpy combs are usally roos. Look for ones with smooth small combs also look at the rest for pom pom looking crest they are normally girls and boys tend to have a bit of a spiky looking crest. Good luck!

Many thank yous and Mahalos! I'll look at them today and hopefully when I bring some (or all of them) home, I'll post pics and see if I picked them out ok. If not, well, I'll have to see....
