Yes, I know they're way too young to sex. This is more just fun guesses while we wait for them to be old enough.
The pictures are labeled by name in the top left corner. There are 4 chicks in total and each chick is a different color. June and Rain are sexlinked, so I'm pretty sure I know what they are.

1. Ollie
2. June
3. Rain
4. Aspen

They are too young to sex but I'm just going to throw these guesses out there:
1. Ollie - male
2. June - female
3. Rain - male
4. Aspen - female
I'd love to see updates of how they grow and to see if someone guesses right! They are super cute chicks! Did you get them from a local breeder?
 
How old are they? You can sex them when they're about 3 months old.
They're 2 weeks. I can usually tell most by 2 months.

I will definitely update. I hatched them myself from my own flock. Except Aspen. That one I got from a breeder.
 
3 weeks now. (Yes I know Ollie isn't a silkie).

Round two of guesses! I think Ollie and Rain are boys. I can see more of Ollie's comb than the others and Rain the way he/she stands so upright makes me think male. June and Aspen I'm guessing are females. 😊
 
Another week, another update. Aspen is the biggest. I have a feeling June will be the only pullet out of these 4, but I guess we'll see.
