Anyone with experience sexing Buffs Orps and Silkies?

Yes. I guess it might be called a single comb. :)
Silkies should have a walnut comb. It was the hardest comb type to get correct that I have worked with so far. Supposed to be a modified cross between a rose and pea combs.
I couldn't see the whole comb from these angles... so when I saw points I though straight/single. Sorry, no ugliness intended regarding the quality of your boys. They're plenty handsome! :love
My friend lets her flock breed what breeds and she some pretty cool looking birds right now! Glad to hear your in it for the fun. :wee

You are too funny! I think these Silkies are the ugliest things I've ever seen. Not insulted at all! I wanted variety and variety I have! If I can get them out of the weeds, I'll take a picture of them. Walnut combs eh? I looked that up and Wow! It looks like a tumor! Definitely don't have that. Just plain, black combs. I'm not upset about that. If I saw my chickens with that awful looking thing on their head I'd panic! I just want calm, chicken days around.
