Bantam Silkies - Guess that Gender!

[BeccaRecca13]

1. Nigel - 12 Weeks


2. Abraham - 9 weeks


3. Lt. Dan - 9 Weeks


Not pure - I’m guessing based on the combs..
I was hoping for at least 1 pullet.

#3 looks to be pullet. #2 looks definitely cockerel to me, and #1 could be a cockerel aswell.

All look like boys too me.

Single combs on Silkies doesn't mean they're mixed. It means their parents have the recessive trait for single comb.

This is my first time with silkies.
I did a lot of reading but some things contradict others, so I’m always learning.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

I Breed/Raise Silkies, done so for a few years now.

Just a note, practically all my Beardless silkies ended up Largefowl, or midsized not bantam sized. So, be prepared, your boys are probably gonna be good sized.
