I have a silkie( black and red) and silkie mix (black with white speckles) that is 10-12 weeks. I think both are sadly a roos but I am holding out hope maybe at least one is a she. Also I have 2, 8 week silkies ( white and white splash) that are probably to young to tell but feel free to share you thoughts

The two older birds do indeed appear to be male, though I recommend holding onto them for a few more weeks to be certain.
The youger ones appear to be male (white) and female (splash) but is is too early to be sure. Sorry I can not provide definitive answers, but silkies are tricky to sex. 🙂

Thanks I plan on keeping them until they become a problem such as crowing too loud for neighbors or being too rough with the girls or eachother.
