Hi everyone,

I need some help sexing these Silkies, I got them at a farm but the lady didn't specify whether they were all girls...So I need a Silkie expert! ASAP!

Here are some pictures.

~Luna
Is like the leader of the 18-week old group and will call for the other chicks if she/he loses them.

~Baby Chino

Thanks for reading! Would love replies!
 
I think pullets , can I give you some grooming advice? They can’t see at all if you don’t trim them. Their cheeks have a puff of fluff , trim in short so they can see the ground . Their big puff on top might be cute but trim it so they can see up all around them .

It’s not fair to them because they can’t protect themselves or see food , hold them on your lap , they will enjoy the time with you

Get a pair of blunt nose scissors and small dog nail trimmers ,
Because you have to trim their nails and clean their feet ... furry feet catch all kinds of stuff in them ..

Take care of them , they are amazing birds , I ❤️Mine and see silkies can “ fly”

I am not a Silkie expert in any way.
I know people experienced with them will ask for close up photos of their combs with the top knot of feathers pushed back.
In my inexperienced opinion, I think yours are all pullets based on the age you said they are.
I’m not seeing any wattles either.
