Sexing 5 month old silkies

[GoatDragonFarms]

Look like girls, but silkies are notoriously hard to sex.

I have a partridge rooster, and he is like 30% bigger than my hens. He also has longer streaming feathers coming from his head and tail. Total sweetie unlike his father, so he gets to stay.
Think these two are about a year old.

This is Damian!

Hard to say with the pictures. Do they have streamers? Do you have a side/profile picture?

I don't see any obvious streamers on them. They both have frizzled genes in them and the black one looks a bit more frazzled/puffy but I don't notice the typical streamers.

Just to update, both of these cuties turned out to be hens!

Yay!

Oh neat, thanks for the update!

I'm going with both as pullets.

Hi everyone! I am wondering if you could give me some insight on if my 5 month old silkies are hens or Roos. I hatched them from eggs and so far no crowing or egg laying...I’ve attached some pictures. Thanks so much!!

I think they are all pullets (girls) but I am no export and might be wrong. For better results you can make your own thread and post it in the "what breed or gender" forum. (This thread is pretty old.)
