SEX my silkies!

[AspiringUrbaniteFarmer]

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....

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.

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

K, comb shots posted. Let me know if any other angles or anything else would help!
