and even with them it's not a guarantee. Silkies, any bantams for that matter, are very hard to vent sex due to their size. Silkies and EEs are notorious for being really difficult to sex until they are much older.

yeah no kidding! I had a rooster that I swore was a hen till he was 9 months old and decided to crow!

Honestly, you cannot sex Silkies and I wouldn't believe anyone, even a hatchery expert who told me they could.

The hatcheries vent sex them...but in all bantams it is very difficult and not guaranteed.
