my silkies were very easy to sex (in hindsight) I had 8 (fox got four) Four of them had cotton ball tails, four had feathery, longer tails. I noticed this from just a few weeks old. As they developed the four with the feathery tails got pronounced wattles, and just began to crow. mine were born may 11th. hope this helps. I agree that the first white looks like a hen, too hard to see the other two.

Your video won't come up. From the pics, I'd say the two whites are cockerels and the black is a pullet.

Really? cuz the first white one has no comb whatsoever but the last white one has a very showing one and its big.

The shape and size of the crest looks more like a male. Sometimes they comb will develop early and it can be easy to tell, but sometimes it can take a while.

he does resemble my male/chicks dad. What do you think of the greys in the videos? None of them have the large is it right what im saying comb? On there face like the one white chick.

 

[LilPeeps]

The whites definately look like cockerels, and the black like a pullet.

The greys look like pullets, the video quality isn't good enough (or long enough) to get a good look at them. Do you have pics of them?
