I sex silkies when they either crow or lay an egg. There is another method you can do at one day old, that involves looking in the chicks vent for a bump or no bump or something like that. You can find more info on youtube relating to vent sexing.

It really depends, but i would post back in here when they are about 14 weeks

Good Luck and Enjoy!
