Hi there!

Hi everyone!
I am a jersey girl!
I am so new to this!
I have two silkie chicks, 5 weeks old and I absolutely am so in love with them.
Thoughts on the genders?!?

Hello, and welcome! Glad that you joined! You's might still be a little too young yet to sex. The males will grow streamer's at the back of the crested head's. People might be able to tell if you showed a picture of the comb's and holding the fluff away from it.

Welcome to BYC. Silkies are tough for gender ID, and yours are too young for anything but a guess.

Silkies are beautiful!
That’s what I have been reading.
Thank you!

Hello, and a warm welcome to Backyard Chickens! It's great to have you here with us. Cute chicks! Not sure on genders though.

The best time to try and decide gender is around 4-5 mos. of age. Silkies (and Polish) are among the hardest to sex early. Sometimes they cannot be sexed until they crow or lay eggs.

Best photos are from the front, with crest pulled back, to show entire extent of combs.
