Help sexing silkies

[Mama fluff]

I have 14 eight week old silkies most of them I can tell the sex a few I’m not sure of ! I’m hoping these two are girls can anyone tell if these are pullets or is it still too early to tell ? Thanks

Grey looking one is pullet, buff is possible cockerel.

Thanks that’s what I thought to ! The buff is on the bigger side also but I keep hoping maybe girl .

The buff one isn't a Silkie. It has normal feathering.

Both are female.

I'm not doubting you but.. how isn't it a silkie?

It does not have silkie feathers, it has smooth feathers. It may be a silkie mix, but it’s not a silkie.

It lacks the defining characteristic of the breed: the silkie feathering.

It may be a Satin, but it is not a Silkie.

Alright I see what you mean.

It is a smooth satin feather silkie

It is a Satin not a Silkie. A Satin is part Cochin and part Silkie. I’m guessing the gray one is a pullet. Not sure about the satin.
