Can anyone help me with Evangeline, she is an 15 week silkie and showing no vocal or behavioural signs of being a Roo however, she/he is considerably bigger than her sister and stands more upright. Can anyone help me sex her? Thanks View attachment 2338761View attachment 2338762View attachment 2338763View attachment 2338764View attachment 2338767

Kinda hard to tell from the photos.
Likely a cockerel.

Silkies are hard to sex. I would have to wait for either an egg or a crow.

Both are pullets.
It's not abnormal for the Australorp not to have a complete tail. I'm sure it will grow in fast.

Thank you and cmom, you all made our day!!!

#1 is male. #2 likely male. #3 is female.

Fresh photos in a few weeks to confirm would be good.

Thanks, sending foto's to reconfirm, now at nearly 9 weeks number 2. #1 for sure a roo, #3 for sure a hen I think...

I would hang on to #1 a bit longer. Looks female to me. The barred bird is a pullet.

Both still do appear to be pullets.

We can be sure at about 13 weeks.

Maybe I was not expressing myself clear re the numbering since this was a second post, I edited the post. Number 1 is the white one, number 2 (brown) was with doubt and number 3 was the barred one. Thanks

Barred (3) is female. White (1) is male.
Last bird appears to be female. Do you have my more photos? Side shots are best.
Love their patterns.

Thank you, I suspected as much but time will tell. At the moment they seem to be quite dominated by the larger hens and happy to tag along in the adventures. Even the mini silkie like to put them in their place which makes me wonder if he is a she after all haha. They are a firm member of the family either way

This barnyard mix is about 3 months old. The comb and waddle look cockerel to me, but the tail feathers look pullet....

Cockerel

I got a bunch of bantam chicks and ended up with a Buff Brahma and three Silkies. The only one of the bunch that has crowed is the first Silkie, so I know he is a boy...but these other? Edited to say they are between 13 to 16 weeks old as I don't know how old they were when I got them...they were not day old chicks for sure. I started counting weeks from when I got them so that would be 13 weeks ago...but they are older than that...I just don't know how many weeks older but my guess is between 1-3 weeks older, thus my 13-16 week range.

The first two pictures are of the Silkie that is crowing...

Buff Brahma is a cockerel, not sure about the silkies

Here they are

Too young for me to be sure. Pretty chicks!
