Here's an updated picture in case anyone has any input yet...

I have a White Silkie just like that. His name is Snuggle Bug, and he's bearded. Your silkie is a rooster if you didn't know that already.

Trying to figure out if these babies are bearded or not. I think the white chick is but i am not sure about the other ones. Any advise?

 

[MysteryChicken]

The white one with the fluffy cheeks is bearded. The other few silkie chicks look non bearded.

Watch the other few to see if their faces fluff up, or not.

The gender of your black silkie is a boy, in case you wanted to know that also.

How are you able to tell the difference between male and female silkies at this age?

Oh ok im about to get my silkie eggs tomorrow and this will be my first time with silkies so i was checking out the difference from bearded and non breaded and saw that you were easily sexing them. Thanks for the tip. That will help.
