Can you sex a silver penciled Egyptian Fayoumi?

[paynemom]

Just got three silver penciled Egyptian Fayoumis straight run. How soon to tell the sex? Is it a wait and crow sort of thing?

Probably waiting until they're around 6-9 weeks would be your best bet. Male and female Fayoumis have the same basic coloring until the males get their white hackles. But at 6-9 weeks their comb development should be further along than the pullets'.
