No they will lay without a roo but if you want fertile eggs for hatching then you'll need a roo!

Thank you ! Is there a certain way to tell if they are roosters when they are small

I hear silkies are notoriously hard to visually sex. Some people resort to DNA testing for their silkies to know sooner vs later.

I don't think so , acre4me is probably right
