How many silky roosters?

[patman75]

I know we have at least one rooster but my daughter thinks there is 2. They are about 19-20 weeks old.

The known one is a dead giveaway by his coloration. Number 2 looks male and I think even one is a cockerel.

I think that they're all males. For sure, I think Suspect #2 and the known one are cockerels. I'm not quite as certain on Suspect #1.

Suspect #2 and the known rooster look like cockerels to me. However, I'm leaning towards Suspect #1 being a pullet, for now.

After additional reading up on silkie sexing these pics tell it all I think. Here are pictures of the streamers coming off their head.

2 or 3 roos? Suspect #1 I'm on the fence. Feathers off the head are not as big but my daughter said she seen it crow. So I guess 3 then...

They all look like roos to me. At least suspect two and known are for SURE!

Suspect one looks like your only possible pullet.

Well suspect 1 was crowing this morning. So we are 3 for 3 with roos.
