You know it's too early to sex the silkies, but Penny is a ROO!

oh realy bugger

hopefully the only one then

i will be soooooooo upset if they all turn out to be roos ,i know its the risk you take but still not nice when you have grown attatched

The little grey silkie may be a hen but all the rest look like they are little roos

sorry I hope I am wrong it is still a little too early to tell for definite but going by build shape and leg thickness plus comb size at this age...

I to think the blue silkie is a hen she is alot more timid then the others arrrr i real hope i got more then just one hen

I see no characteristics on any of them that point male or female - they are too young.

The non-silkies (the orp and mystery chick) the combs haven't gotten any size on them yet, if they are boys you'll probably know within the next month.
