Help with trying to sex silkies

[debwhitt]

10 weeks old, one bearded one non bearded. No waddles small flat comb, too young to tell?

Silkies are very tough to sex until they're full grown. These look like nice ones. If I had to guess I would lean toward the non-bearded being a cockerel. It has no wattle development, but the comb looks kind of big. But only a guess. The other looks more like a pullet.

much too young - when you post photos again please have a shot of each facing forward with crest held or pulled back to display entire comb. Thank you

Thank you! I was leaning towards cockerel for the non bearded too but there are no waddles or comb developing, I hatched these,and their development was identical. Normally they have little tiny differences but these 2 have really stumped me! I love the quality of these 2! I bought the eggs off eBay!!

They're nice and fluffy, and they look to be pure white. Good qualities for white Silkies. It's really going to take some time before you know for sure what sex they are-- things can change rapidly. But I hope you get whatever sex you want for them.

Thank you! I don’t care what the sex is really. I think the boys and girls are both darling!!! Just hope I named them correctly! Lol!

***update****
The non bearded I thought was a rooster is a hen, the bearded I thought was a hen, is a rooster( I think)6 months old now. No eggs, no crowing.
