Pullet or cockerel?

[BlueTheBrahma]

Thank you all. I’m new to sexing chickens. We started out with 2 silkies and they quickly multiplied to 11. My daughter fell in love with this little fella and I’ve felt like it was a cockerel from the beginning.

Yeah, silkies are the worst breed to sex pretty much. Other than maybe the hennyfeathered breeds.

Yes I have heard ours were already laying and then we later got Easter eggers and copper marans and a few have started laying. He was the only one I wasn’t sure about. We have also recently hatched silkies and we will know when they crow I guess

I’d love to see your marans, they’d be very welcome on the international BCM thread.

You might learn a thing or two about sexing marans over there too.
