I have 2 that I call the twins (white). They are always together and have been smaller than my other 4 Silkies all hatched together. They both have developed combs in the past week. They are nowhere near as fluffy or neat looking as Snowball who I am pretty sure is my only white female.
Then there are Splash's. Pepsi, my dark Splash, the one I thought was a Roo from day one has no comb yet. One Splash has a small comb and the other does not. In the past few weeks all the Splash's started getting puffy head feathers. Any guesses?
1st 3 are Snowball (suspected female) and the twins with their combs.
The next pics are the Splash's.

So the twins must be males, and the rest are looking like pullets so far. There could be a late bloomer, so keep an eye on the combs. If there are growth spurts in any, then could be a cockerel. You can post updated pics whenever you like and someone will help.

Thank you. 😊
