Guess Silkie Gender

[Jlevans001]

Cockerel or pullet?? Seven silkies. 9 1/2 weeks old. Thinking 5/7 roosters, but hoping not and have no room guessing!!

I think they're all hens maybe 1 or 2 roos

Thanks for the input fingers crossed all hens, I have a rooster than doesn’t wanna share - haha!

Pics of the combs would be helpful from the front

Okay! Will post soon

Sorry to respond again - what makes you think all pullets? Hope to get better at knowing differences!

Crest shape. Cockerels have long streamers

Too early. Boys would not have streamers yet. You can try posting individual comb photos for fun, but would still be too early unless you had some obvious males. I personally can not tell the genders based on the photos provided. They are lovely birds.

They’re all so beautiful! Especially love the Smokey coloured one. Newbie here so I’m of no real help, but good luck with the guesses - I posted here a few weeks back and predictions have been mostly correct.. we’ve got two cockerels in our new gang of 4

I won't be of any help, but I just wanted to say that they are beautiful birds!!!

Thank you I agree! I can only hope that they’re all girls!!
