Hens or roos 22 wk old silkies

[emilyenorris]

I have 4 silkies that I got at the same time I assume from the same hatch. One started crowing 2-3weeks ago. The others have not yet. One of them has a scissor beak. I wonder if he is a roo, but slower to develop. The other two chicks, I have no idea. Help me out. Do I have any pullets?

Maverick definitely a roo.

This is Goose.




Cross beak (rowdy)
Sorry pics not good.


The smallest one.



The second and 4th look a lot alike, but the 2nd has a longer neck.

Thanks for any guesses.

All three look like pretty pullets to me.

Looks like you got lucky and have 3 pullets no guarantees, but I would say pullets. Beautiful birds. I have 5 bearded silkies.

All pullets except for the first one.

Agreed, Just one cockerel, rest are pullets.
