How old ?

 

[JadeFarms]

I think it’s a boy. I already will have 1 or two more, and I have two full grown ones. Three is enough, if it’s a boy, bye Westie.

2 1/2 months.

Do you have any other photos of 'him'?

Silkies are super hard to sex but from looking at that photo I'd say female.

I've found myself that streamers don't always mean a Silkie is male. I have had hens with feather streamers.​

I'm going to vote male, but I don't have much experience with Silkies...

You have helped me out a few times. So I will probably believe you

Its pretty hard to tell right now. It could be either.... Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hmm, the top picture is saying male now since 'he' looks like he's got a pretty prominent comb starting. He also seems like he's starting to get hackle feathers, they seem kinda pointed and straight on his neck.

I don't know if others have experienced it but I've found males tend to have a mulberry comb and wattles whereas the female have a darker more black comb and wattles. Of course this depends on the breeding but that happened for me in my Silkies.

He is at a difficult age to know for sure though.​
