Our chicks have reached approx 9 weeks of age now.
We are hoping this is a good age to tell what their gender is now?

(the white one is a bit older we think, maybe 10 weeks old)

They come from a Silkie father. If anyone thinks they can tell what the mother hen might have been that would be handy too.
We think maybe the white one has a Polish mother?

Thank you in advance :D

The white one is a cockerel, and the other two look like pullets!
Thank you so much for your opinion. We are excited about the 2 being pullets : - )

Your right that white one has just suddenly turned into a very feisty little rooster and his 'mane' hackles has grown so long this week!
 
I agree, white is a cockerel. If the mother didn't have black skin then chicks are sexlinked. Female chicks have black skin and males have light skin. So, the other 2 should be pullets :)
Thank you, we've not heard about that. Interesting to know and we'll look that up, do some reading. We love learning more about the wonderful world of Chookys!
