Does any one have any suggestions on sexing a silkie chick??

I have all ages, so any tips on any age will help.

It's always fun to guess, but it's impossible to tell how old a silkie is until they're at LEAST 4 months old.

Yes they are, and srry for not posting pics....my camera doesnt work, and my internet wasnt working.
But I do belive the chick to be a pullet...(hope I didnt jynx myself....)

I'm new and im really confused. How do you create new topics on the forum. I know this has nothing to do with the topic.

I consider myself an expert on silkies but my last one fooled me. It wasn't until a rooster mounted it at 6 months before I knew it was a girl.

Tell tale signs are: Round tails=girls, pointed tails=boys. Mohawk doo = boy, round doo = girl.

I bought a few silkies from a lady last summer and she had a friend there that was helping us sex them, She told me to feel the front of their forehead to feel for their bump, if they had a bump they were roos if they had none they were hens. She guessed mine perfect, I thinks this works.
