???How do u know???

[Justino]

how can u tell if a silkie is a girl or a boy? i there a way?

by their comb and if you know what to look for in their vent or if you wait to see if one crows

If you run your finger over their comb if you feel a small bump it's a boy if it feels flat it's a girl. I was told this by a silkie breeder. So far it has worked on all the ones I have so far. They need to be a month or so older to do this though. Plus the roos will start to get streamers on the top of their head.

Circular crest means girl and oval crest means boy

so if its oval its a boy? wats the diffrence of oval and circular? got any pics?

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

I wish I had pics but all I had was boys. now I am down to 1 boy.

The difference is the circular fro means it will have a small comb. the boys have the oval shaped which means it will have a big comb.
