Please help me determine my chicks gender

[Micchicken]

I have some sillies that hatched about 1.5 weeks ago and I was hoping somebody can feather sex them for me... I will leave pictures of the two birds wings.

Welcome to BYC. Feather sexing is generally unreliable with silkies.

You can't feather sex silkies. You can either wait for an egg/crow (anywhere from 5-12 months) or have a DNA test done. Sometimes around 4-5 months you can kind of tell with comb formation/streamers if you have a cockerel. Post more pictures in a couple months.

I can wing feather sex Silkies, but you let their feathers grow out to much for me to be able too.
Chicks at 1-3 days old are most reliable for this.

This is false. You cannot feather sex silkies.

I feather sexed my Silkies, & was correct. I sexed them as 4 females, 1 male.
3 bantam, 2 female 1 male.

1 standard female.

I wing feather sexed these guys, plus a silkie D'Uccle cross, I also sexed as female, correct on that one.

You must have a special super power that no other silkie breeders have then.

feather sexing is generally unreliable. I can guarantee them 50% of the time.

No, super powers, just lots of personal studies, & practice done. It's easy once you get the hang of it.
