Sex of Silkies and Showgirls

[Nicole_Hutchison]

They are about 4 months old.

1 paint showgirl
2 black silkies
1 white silkie

Sorry in advance for the photo dump!!

My guess is as follows:
Paint showgirl - cockerel
1 black silkie Cockerel and 1 black silkie pullet
White cockerel
1 paint silkie cockerel and 1 paint silkie Pullet

The white silkie (with red comb) definitely looks like a cockerel. Paint showgirl also cockerel. The rest I can't tell, sorry.

I'm surprised the males aren't crowing by now. I guess Silkies must be late in that department.

I'm hoping @LadiesAndJane can help you since she knows a lot about Silkies.

Mine started crowing at around 4.5 months old last year.

Yep! I have a frizzled silkie from a Sept/Oct hatch and I keep getting told she is a he…but still no crowing!

Checking in to see if anyone had thoughts on if these few are cockerels or pullets?
