Pullet or cockerel?

[Ponypeople118]

These are all silkie of different ages and hatches. The youngest is the white at about 13 weeks and the oldest is the black at 17 weeks the other two somewhere in between. I bought them end of may and guessed the sexes hoping for pullets. I have always had no problem telling boys from girls until I got these silkies. I don’t see any difference in behavior, no crowing, and no waddles on any of them under their feathers.

The black one’s poof looks crazier in the picture than it actually is

Sorry, I don't know silkies......hopefully this bumps your thread up for more attention.

I don’t see any obvious roosters. The bearded ones are hard to tell from a picture. I check the wattles by feel.

From what I have researched, Silkies are just a waiting game to see what you have.

my Silkie rooster started developing his wattles around 2.5 months.

None of them have any waddles at all

Then they are probably all pullets unless it’s a very late bloomer!

These are my 2 girls. The black one is bearded
