chickorita



i think the other ones might show a little frizzling here and there too.

So far I think the first one looks like a roo. But I would watch chickorita and Diana. And it's pretty early to sex silkies but you could try posting close ups of their profiles and full body shots. It's usually easier when they're 9 or so weeks old.

yeah i will definitely put some more pictures up tomorrow they might help out quite a bit.

The first is a cockerel. You need to wait around 2 weeks on the others. The silkies you will have to wait much, much longer. Silkies are extremely hard to sex.

Agreed.

yeah so far my only clues on the silkies at all are that the white one keeps jumping all over especially on the other ones, and the black one has a bigger walnut comb.
