I know it's near impossible but can anyone tell the sex of my silkies. I think I got stooged by a breeder on the weekend with my silkies. I guess I learnt the hard way if they are both roosters

Your Silkies are too young to tell gender. Silkies are notoriously difficult to sex; sometimes, you don't know until they crow or lay. However, I'm leaning towards both of your birds being cockerels.
 
Thankyou. Yes I have been told they are hard to sex. Oh well if that's the case I will have to start again and find new homes for them hopefully one that won't chop their heads

but they are friendly little things that's for sure. Eating out of my hand an they jump up on my arm and want scratches

G'day and welcome to Backyard chickens. I agree with bantam lover, their combs are very visible at this stage. Males usually have s wider more prominent comb while females tend to have narrow ones. I wouldn't bet the farm on it though.

Didja know BYC has a large aussie community and their very popular thread "Australia, six states and one funny little island." Glad you joined the flock
