I bought these at an auction so I’m not sure what the age is, but I’m guessing they are 7-8weeks old. I have been trying to figure out the sex of them but am so unsure! Anyone think they would know? Also am I close on the age guess?

I am totally new to the breed!

I think I see at least 2 males. Maybe 3.

They look close to 4 months old.

Thanks! I hope there is one hen in there! One looks nice and fluffier then the rest, but is also abit bigger. Would that be a hen? That one is also pictured separately.

Also thanks for the age guess! Maybe they will crow soon then!
 
I’m seeing a few pullets. Silkies are one of the hardest breeds to sex sometimes. :lau Please post some updated pictures in a few more weeks. :fl
 
Here are some updated pictures, I am thinking there is definitely one rooster out of these 4?!
