Male Silkies?!? I think...what to do???

[lurky]

I cant find where you said how old they are, but i think besides them crowing, it can be 5-6 mos old with some.
The best of the best silkie people on here tried to help me sex my 4 original silkies and it just couldnt be dont until the streamers started to become obvious.

i have a silkie and his son which is half cochin, they started fine in the same coop until one day, the son tried to kill dad; they started crowing around 4 or 5 in the morning and they are loud; they are not allowed in the yard together anymore because the son, which is bigger than the dad, will kill him; so far, my neighbors are understanding and hasn't complained much, of course i have to bring them inside the house, in our basement, so they don't wake our neighbors up around 4 am and they crow on and off all day long with no rhyme or reason

They are 5 mths, so I am hoping to know for sure soon! As for keeping them if the are roo's, I have already decided I can't, I have one neighbor that unless their crow was no louder then the normal chickens, well he would flip! He, so far has been ok with the chickens (only had them out there for 2 months), but I know he would not put up with roosters! I am just really hoping that at least the gray one is female!

they all look female ish to me anyway, but seeing they are pet quality, they might not get any larger crests than they currently have, but, thats not a bad thing, they can see at least!

Okay, I had to bring them inside, but I got a decent picture of them both, not the best but, oh well! Sorry about the dirty fridge bottom...guess I better clean that tomorrow! LMAO! Anyways, I hope these help all of you better ID the sexes! Thanks again!
