Hi
I’m new to backyard chicken raising
I came across these two Silkies and adopted them, I was told they’re hens but I cannot be sure, can anyone help

They’re both cockerels, they still look quite ‘leggy’ and more fuzzy than fluffy so I wouldn’t say they’re over 1 year old yet.

They’re both non-bearded.

Here’s a comparison...

My cockbird (has no wattles because he’s bearded, if he was non bearded like yours he would have them):

One of my hens, nice round crest, still a small comb, has wattles but they’re small:
