I will sex your silkies 10+ weeks old

[Climax]

I will sex anyone's Silkies that are at least 10 weeks old. I need close up pictures of the Silkies head.

If you want to find the gender yourself, look for 4 things. (all traits of Cockerel silkies)

1. Curved upward comb, curving up into their crest.
2. Smaller, less puffy crest.
3. Crest is somewhat waved back.
4. Crest kind of forms around the comb to make room for it.

Body shape and stance is a big tell for me. There is just a "way" to them.

Yeah, that usually comes a bit later around 13-14 weeks, but around 10 weeks they all have around the same shape and stance.

I have 7 14 week old Silkies that are adorable. 6 white ones and 1 black one.
3 Cockerels, 4 pullets. I admit I haven't had them long enough to have the right to do this thread, but I spend hours a day observing them and came to notice the traits of them. I also became good at sexing others silkies in their threads and I believe I am pretty good at doing so.

I am not home for a few days but I will be home on Thursday and I will definitely share some pictures of my 7.
