Hi!

May I have your best guess on the following silkies' gender:

#1 - 3 month-old. What do you call this color?
#2 - 5 month-old. Bought it as a partridge roo. (Head pic in the very last pic)
#3 - 5 month-old. Bought it as a partridge hen.
#4 - 2 month-old splash. Got it for free because of beak and leg color and comb type.

Thanks in advance,
DC.

EDIT - Added a few extra pics

1 I’m think pullet at this moment in time. She is a buff Silkie
2 need better photos of his face
3 thinking cockerel but I’ll also need better photos
4 pullet. She is also a silkie mix (just making a uneducated guess here but I’m think mixed with a Cochin)

Silkies are hard to sex and everyone here is making a guess, not a guarantee.

Thank you Chookchicken!

Added a few more pictures to the gallery - unfortunately I didn't manage to put them in any sort of order (SORRY!) - hoping that it helps your job.

2 I’m think is a cockerel
3 Basing of the comb I’d say he’s a cockerel

No guarantees though.
