surly they will let me know by then!

I hope so. Silkies terrify me sometimes.
They're notoriously hard to sex.

So is it the coloring? I thought the 2 dark ones looked male, but on the first blue one, I still can't tell what you are seeing that makes it for sure male. I usually have to wait for the solid patches to come in on the wings to tell.

It can be kinda hard to notice.
The face also looks male, but that's not science, just how I see it.

I’ve never had silkies before so I am completely in the dark with them! They just need to commit already...now or later the end will be the same...LOL (off to my rooster person). They are holding up the integration!

Hello! I decided to start another thread on helping all you back yard chicken farmers determine the sex of your chicken.
I know it can sometimes be super tricky to identify gender in chicks, so that's why we made this thread! No need to start your own thread, just hop on here and share a picture of your chick, making sure it's at least 4 weeks old before asking gender. Me and @Jetblack2004 are almost 100% on genders for chicks 4 weeks+.
So feel free to ask lots of questions regarding gender. We do NOT identify breeds, only gender. However, if anyone out there is good at identifying breeds, please let us know, we would love to have your help!

Thanks!

What breed is that one?
Comb development is pullet.
Updates will be good.

Thank you! One of those things that once you see it, you can't unsee it... but I probably will manage to in the future.

There's always some birds that slip by
And then you get hen-feathered breeds. I'm staying well away from them. Lol.

It's a cream legbar, one of 2. The other one we knew was male from day 1 because of the colouring, but this one was a bit ambiguous. Hope you are right about it being a pullet, the comb on the male is definitely bigger so fingers crossed.

Ok so my chicks are about 6.5 weeks old as of this last Sunday (when the pics are taken) (as of today they are 7 weeks old. any ideas on gender? I know Sparky is a cockerel, but am unsure if Squirt or Maverik is or not, along with Sparky they were late bloomers for there tail and body feathers and as you can see Squirt is still a little behind. the other 3 I feel like at this point are pullets, but i could be wrong. I bought them all from TSC as "Ameraucanas" (finding out later that they are Easter Eggers (which is fine because that's what I wanted originally)).

1. Here is Annabelle

2. Here is Dotty

3. Here is Maverik (suspect for potential roo)

4. Here is Sparky (the for sure cockerel)

5. Here is Squirt (another one that I am not sure on has been growing slower then the rest)
Squirt is very sweet and enjoys perching on my hand and arm (tries on the shoulder but try not to let her/him go on my shoulder)

6. Ziggy (very sweet loves to cuddle and sleep in my arms. I trust this one the most)

So here are all of them, let me know what you all think, I will be taking more pictures on this upcoming Sunday (been taking weekly pictures on Sundays) so if you want the next set of pictures let me know.
