They are just barely over a month, so I realize this is super duper early, but I will continue to update as the months go on & it will be fun to see who has a keen eye for sexing, & who is just plain wrong! *UPDATED w/ BETTER COMB SHOTS* 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) & if you want to see these little beauties when they were teenies for some reason, here is a link to when they were just shy of a week.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=100612-new-babies
My guesses, after knowing them for a little bit are: 1.) boy 2.) boy 3.) boy 4.) girl 5.) girl HOPEFULLY I don't have that many boys... & these are my first silkies & I'm also a new chicken owner... so I really am not basing this off of any experience or anything. Just fun to guess & see. Join on in!
I've been trying to sex mine judging by their behaviors but unfortunately everyone I have talked to says the only way to sex them is to wait and see who crows and lays.
Yes, I am going through the same problem. I have a white one that will squat and put it's butt in the air when you rub it's back but everyone swears it s a roo. I think it's even growing a comb. This is the thread. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=518102
Girl, girl, boy, boy, girl... Could we get better views of the comb area? That would help on a couple of them Silkie babies are just so darn cute
