My chicks are very cute and I got told phoebe and Matilda were girls and correct me on the breeds if I’m wrong, I know lucky is either a silkie or silkie x pekin or polish but plz help me out

Your chicks are gorgeous! To me, Matilda looks like a rooster, he definitely looks like a pekin bantam (He looks just like one of my pekin chickies), lucky I'm a little unsure but they may be leaning towards the rooster side and phoebe looks to be a hen, but I may be wrong.

Well I will probably give Matilda back, and keep Lucky because so much work went into repairing her/his face after his mother attached him. I thought Matilda was a rooster (s)he has always been the boldest and the leader but Lucky is a bit younger

And can anyone tell me if Phoebe is a pekin or not?

Matilda is definitely a 100% Cockerel. The other two chicks appear to be pullets, but silkies are notoriously hard to sex, post them again in about 4+ weeks.

Also, Lucky appears to me a mix, definitely not a pure silkie

Thx Kayla I really hope your right, if so we may keep Lucky, Phoebe and Matilda. I’m renaming Matilda to Mati

Pheobe is a pullet
Matilda is a definite cockerel
And lucky is looking like a cockerel and he/she’s definitely not a silkie..
silkies have pea combs
He/she could be a mix though.

You reckon Luckys a boy? I’m not to sure because we have had hens like that before and (s)he could possibly be
A. Polish x silkie
B. Pekin x silkie
I’m not sure

What age is he ?
It looks like he has a straight comb in the picture? Therefore he couldn’t be a polish x silkie mix
Does he have feathered legs ? If he does then there is a chance that he’s pekin x silkie.
