Can you help me ID & gender

[Lili623]

Hello everyone
I have 6 silkies, and I have no clue what sex they are at this point. The first two are 3 months and the other four are only 5 weeks. I know they’re all still too young but I’ve been watching them and trying to guess. It’s actually a fun sport I’d say. Would anyone like to join me?
#1 white (bearded) silkie 3 months old
#2 black silkie 3 month old
#3 showgirl silkie 5 weeks
#4 frizzle silkie 5 weeks
#5 peasant(?) silkie (darker color) 5 weeks
#6 peasant(?) silkie (lighter color) 5 weeks


My guesses: #1-male #2- Female #3- unsure #4- Female #5- Male #6- Male
Thank you!

Sorry! I accidentally made more then one thread. I don’t know how that happened but I apologize.

Right now, the white one appears to be female, but what would be most helpful is a picture of his/her comb with the fluff pushed back. Same with the black one, adding a photo of the comb (close up) would be helpful.

Silkies are incredibly hard to sex. It's still on the early side in my opinion for the first two, but is much too early for the last ones. I would consider re-posting once they are older, at around 15 weeks if you can wait that long.

Thank you! Yes, I believe it’s too early, just trying to sharpen my observational skills. Thank you so much! I will post another picture of the combs, and maybe again in a few weeks. I appreciate your help.

Any idea about the breed of silkie for the last two babies? I’m not sure...

Hello,
Honestly, she’s still pretty small and her curly feathers seem more straighten now (like a normal silkie) but she still has time to grow. I’ll see if I can get a picture later on today.

It was a little difficult to get her picture. She didn’t want to stay still.
