Hello! I need Silkie help!

[Cdasilva]

We have sillies and I think the one in front is a roo, but the other is a hen. More pictures would help though ☺

Are they the same age? I think the larger one is a roo, and the smaller likely a hen.

I don’t have any clue how old they are. I don’t have any experience with silkies. I’m really not sure if they’re the same age or not.

I don’t know if they’re real silkies or crossbred or what. I just took them to try to give them a home. I also do not have any idea how old they are.

Thank you! Do you have any clue how old they might be? They are so much smaller than my other hens but I know it’s a more petite breed.

They are banty breed but that is why say crosses look the leg for age see how long the nails are or how thick they are they tend to thicken with with age

Welcome to BYC Christine! Your silkies are adorable, but I'm really not good at sexing them. You might have to wait for a crow to know for sure.
