Let's play the Silkie Bantam guessing game~!

I've heard that the size and shape of their head poof can be an indication of sex, but I've never heard anything about the foot feathering.

No, it doesn't. Generally hatchery silkies will have very poor toe feathering.

Okay! Thanks for the info~ These little chickies are difficult to tell their gender.

I think only one of the white ones is a roo, based on the together pics! But, I can't tell which white one it is...

It's the one in the first together pic to the far right, but it's just based on her comb size! No definite way to tell yet!

Ooooh thanks so much for the info!

I have another guess that she/he the only roo.. Now the other WSB is very stocky, walks around like it owns the place. More built than the others. She might just be a big female XD

Ivy does look a little suspicious though.....

Heres a video, with my Hen Pip laying an egg but show's the silkies in it. I also have more pictures, they are roughly around 9 weeks now.
