Roo or Hen? Help!

Hey guys,

We have three 6 week old Silkies and I'm having the hardest time sexing them! I've read all the forums and the signs to watch for but I guess I'm a bit of a rookie!








Thank you!

Most silkies can't be accurately sexed until they are a few months old, and even than some take longer. Yours are too young yet.

much too young. Generally silkies can't be sexed with any authority before 4-5 mos. of age. Sometimes not till they lay or crow. Hang in there.
