[I-Have-Happy-Hens]

I think the first one is a boy also do they have spure nobs or wattels coming in?

After looking at those close-ups, here's our guess: 1) boy (b/c of those 3 little sprigs at the end of the comb); 2) most likely girl; 3) girl; 4) girl; 5) girl

Woohoo! Thanks guys, lots of awesome guesses. Can't wait to see. No wattles or spur knobs yet, maybe b/c they're just over a month.

I won't even try because two days ago the last of my three white silkies crowed.....all boys

What's so bad is at least the first two looked like boys, but this last one looks so like a girl.

Isn't there a way to vent sex them? I bought mine from a feed store and they told me they were all pullets?...

 

[stormylady]

I wouldn't even hazzard a guess to me they are way too young.

I think the vent method involves squeezing them or something kinda awful that I'm not trained to do.

I'll keep updating monthly w/ pics & we can see where these boys & girls go.

There are spur bumps, by the way. They are all pretty much the same except #1's are slightly slightly bigger than the rest. Cockadoodledooooooooooooo!

Agreed with above. I am looking at a girl, two roos, and one I am unsure of. . .
