Sexing silkies and polish

[Hollielouu]

So I have 5 babies in one flock and no idea what sex they are, all are displaying dominance
My polish girl (I think) however has recently started trying to crow.
Any help guys?

Ooh, silkies develop slowly so I'm not sure there.

Call it a guess but pic no. 5 looks like a cockerel to me... if 'she' is trying to crow it is almost definitely a cockerel!

How old are they?

 

[Hollielouu]

Pic number 5 is my polish, Rocky. He’s 9 weeks old, I’ve been fairly sure he’s a boy but number 4 (Sky) is the one that has begun to crow and hits the neck of my small white (girl I hope).

They are beautiful!
If no. 2 is your small white girl she des look female...
Just a guess but no.3 looks male to me!

Just curious, did you hatch them from your own eggs and in an incubator or buy them as chicks?

 

[Hollielouu]

Number 2 is my little snowy, I’ve been hoping she’s a girl, she’s much more timid than the others.
I have two flocks at moment being separated, one went broody and hatched 2/6 eggs, the photos are of my bigger flock, these were bought as day olds when her hatch failed.

Oh, I had a failed hatch too, luckily the mama hen easily adopted the foster chicks I gave to her.
I have a little 'Snowy' too (real name snowdrop) but she is an 'Amber Star' (mixed breed) hen.

She is SO timid. Barely a pullet, just out of chickedom. I just love her because she loves snuggles but she has a bad leg and limps, though she is getting better slowly.

 

[Hollielouu]

She’s so lovely, my snowy hasn’t quite warmed up to people just yet, but I’m sure with enough treats she’ll change her mind on me

 

[SulkyBantam]

Treats are so often the key to chicken affection! I'm sure she will.
