Gender of these Silkie???

[Wild Chicken]

Is the one that I am sure is a pullet non-bearded as well? She was the only one that I thought might be bearded.....she is the one in the last pic of original post.

Thanks

Hmmmmm....I wonder than if the one in question IS a pullet????? I would be super excited if it was

How old are yours obe10? The one that I think is a roo definitely doesn't look like yours.

This one looks like it is a girl.
The others are roosters for sure.

I use to raise these guys. So I was lucky enough to figure it out around when they were a few weeks to a month old.

It is hard for me to say just looking at the pictures what gender they are. But I can give a good guess. Your hen is Non bearded and one of the roosters are non bearded to. The other rooster is Bearded.
To tell you the truth it is kind of hard to tell with non bearded. Just because the waddles are more prominet even on a hen. They seem to grow larger on a hen that is non bearded. I am thinking its because the fact they have no beard it helps keep them warmer.

With Beardeds it is harder to tell with the roosters. Considering on most other breeds the waddles and comb grow large. And with all the feathers the waldels and comb are not really needed. So it makes it harder to tell until they are of breeding age, well in some cases.

Hey! Sorry--I just saw this post! I had a silkie egg auction finishing up at the same time and was busy with that!

Anyhow, the one in question looks like a pullet to me--she is non bearded. The bottom pic of the one you are pretty sure is a pullet is bearded--you are correct!
