Help with silkie genders

[nanasue31204]

I have 4 silkies, approximately 5-5 1/2 months old. Trying to determine sex, thanks in advance! Sorry we've had rain the last few days and everyone's a little muddy.

Chick #3

Chick #4

And this little one is 11 weeks old, it's a barred rock and I thought it was a roo because of the light markings but I'm not sure anymore. The last picture is the little one with another one of my barred rocks, he's definitely a roo and the same age. I didn't order any bantams but I'm thinking it must be, though all the chicks were the same size when I got them at 1 day old. It's hard to see in the picture but the little ones comb and wattle are pale

chick one is either a very slow maturing boy or a faster maturing girl ( im voting girl at this point)
chick 2 is a girl
chick 3 looks like a girl also
your barred rock could go either way but im thinking girl

#1 is probably a cockerel. The other Silkies look like pullets, for now. However, Silkies are extremely difficult to sex until they either crow or lay an egg, so I could be completely wrong. Your smaller Barred Rock looks like a pullet.

No clue on the white silkies, but they sure are cute!! Your BR does look like a bantam. And pullet.

If they are all the same age, than you may only have two cockerals and that's the silkie number four and the second barred that has the more developed comb abd wattles. Roosters develope faster and are generally bigger than the hens. I think your fourth silkie is a rooster because his crest is fuller than the others. My friends little sister raised white silkies last year and had a rooster. He looked a lot like your fourth silkie.

I never try to sex Silkies until they are older,mostly because I use the top knots. The best way to know is to remember Elvis and some of the earlier music heart throbs that slicked their hair back. The males top knot looks like someone just ran their fingers through their puff and made the feathers curve to the back. They also have a pronounced 'walnut' shaped comb.
The females look more like unmade beds the feathers fluff out and aim all directions. They will also have a comb but it will be small and almost bean like. One person I knew that raised Silkies for show would lift the top knot up and carefully wrap beautician's tape around it before a show so they stood up more during judging. (the tape was removed just before judging began)
