Hi everyone, can you help me sex one 11 week-old silkie/easter egger mix? We know the first chick is a pullet. I put a photo here for comparison - she is standing all alone in this photo. The second chick (in background of photo on left) has slightly more pink and developed comb, but it is not much different. The saddle feathers on both of them are similar. I've been thinking it is a cockerel and now I'm not so certain. Is this second chick a pullet or cockerel?

I made a mistake in my first post and was referring to the righthand photo. I guess I should have asked instead if both photos are pullets, or if one of the photos is a cockerel. Sorry! I’m really bad about getting my right and left mixed up!

So are you asking what this one is?

I hatched one last year just like that. Ended up being a cockerel.
