[Silkie Princess]

So females can develop spurs as well? Interesting!!

Yes

You're welcome

Look like pullets to me

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

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

Pics of the combs would be helpful from the front

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
