The blue one looks like a rooster. Mine usually start crowing around 6 or 7 months old.

What color of silkie or does it occur on any dark silkie?

 

[AlienChick]

Yeah, the meat of a silkie is dark.
And I believe it is any color silkie.

 

[shelleyd2008]

Yes, any color silkie...it is a breed characteristic.

 

[Zonoma]

Oh wow. That's a little... um, freaky.

Okay, thanks! Since its probably a rooster I'm going to try to trade it for a silkie pullet, when it starts crowing so I'll know for sure.

You can tell by the shape of the crest. I would say with 95% certainty that it is a rooster, but I 'could' be wrong...it's been known to happen

This is my splash rooster, he has the same shape crest. When your's gets a little older you should notice the streamers coming in on the back of his head, they are just feathers that grow longer than the others.

You can kind of see the streamers on the side of this white silkie's crest.

They look pretty dark, do they lighten up in color? The adults from Hinkjc are much lighter.
I have three babies Lavs, just wondering. Also could explain a split Lav. I am new to the chickens and really need an education Thanks
