What did they look like as just hatched chicks? If you have to wait for the first feathers, that isn't a true sex link, per se... but, yes, those are both males... your Wheaten came from Susan, right? ETA: is Garfunkel the daddy?is it safe to say these are sex links and both males? father is a pure Wheaten Ameraucana mothers are easter eggers, some of the hens have silver edging on their hackles. four weeks old. Thanks.
Need a good, clear side profile shot...
Silkie ~3-4 months old. Pullet or cockerel? I'm leaning towards pullet because there is no apparent comb development.

Earlobes have nothing to do with gender. Blue ear lobes are common with silkies.

I understand your skepticism in regard to whether or not their father really is an Ameraucana. This is their dad.
That splash in the last picture is chick number one's mom. The other chick comes from one of these.

This is the first one
One of the striped chicks is the second one.
Tomorrow is fine, just was letting you know what is easier for telling with Silkies... all Silkies should have turquoise/bright blue earlobes...
I always loved Garfunkel!Yes, Garfunkel (from Susan) is their daddy. He is my favoriteThis is the first one

Not true sex-linked, but sexable early, I would say... still nice to be able to do...
