My babies are six weeks old today (and tomorrow)! The ones I hatched anyway. Ive got my suspicions of who is what, but since i cant keep roos, I’d love some help finding out for sure before I end up with angry neighbors.

1-5 are six weeks old, 1-3 being speckled sussex, and 4-7 are all easter eggers. 6 & 7 are 7 weeks and were bought as pullets.

Hopefully the pictures will attach, on my phone and I’ve never posted pictures on this site before. Bear with me! Hehe

Silkies can be hard to sex sometimes.
Do u have some pictures you would like to post of them? I'll do my best to sex them.

I know they are so hard to sex! I love guessing though. Thank you! #3 may be a bit too young he's almost two weeks younger than the others. The rest are around 10-11 weeks

First looks like a cockerel.
3 4 and 5 seem to be pullets.
If you have a better picture of the second ones comb that would be great.
They are all really pretty!
I especially like 1 and 2! They 're gorgeous.

I will try to get a closer picture of #2 in a bit. Those 2 are my favorite also, they're beautiful! I was also guessing #1 was a rooster, but it acts like a hen as far as standing lower to the ground. Silkies are so confusing

Also #2 has a comb similar to the first one but it's not as bright, it is more of a dark purple

Yes, they really can be confusing!

The comb may be darker than #1 might just be because of their colors being different.
I am leaning towards rooster on #2.
