barnyard mix hen or rooster?

[ManderMB]

Thank you all so much!! We were really hoping they were all hens as we didn't want to end up rehoming them. We love them all and they all have such awesome personalities. We do have a few more chickens I'll post later. We have 4 silkies(1 or 2 may be roosters) and 2 more wyandottes.

Here are 3 of our silkies. I'm trying to get a picture of our 4th one.

These look a tish young yet, but so beautiful!!

Silkies can't be sexed positively until they are around 4 months old. I have a couple of them a bit older I'm still not absolute on.

The key areas are the comb, hackles, and tail. Cockerals will start getting a thicker comb which will start looking similar to a walnut. The tails on cockerals will start getting longer sometimes darker feathering that won't lay down neatly like a pullet's does.


I'm going to guess pullet, cockeral, pullet.

That makes sense they were born around mother's day. We are thinking the exact same as you actually. The other one I couldn't get a pic of we think is a pullet as well. We have 3 white and 1 grey. Thank you for your response

I think I replied in another thread; I love all the pictures of your birds! I think @Debbie292d's guess for your Silkies is a good one! Thanks for joining BackYard Chickens!

These are pics of the 1 silkie I didn't get one of the other day. The other pic is one with the rooster.
