One week old silkies

[Kheinrich]

I just brought home 12 silkie chicks Friday morning. Just being curious, can you tell pullets and cockerels apart at 1 week by the pin feathers? Thanks

Sadly, no. Only specific hybrid crosses that have been carefully bred, can be told. Please wait until 12 weeks, then post pics of the whole body, crest, and comb with the crest pulled back.
