Sexing silkies!

[Rowena Cooper]

Please can anybody help me sex my 2 silkie chickens? They are around 5-6 months old and both look different! One has feathers under its beak but the other doesnt? One comes to you/in the house to investigate then calls the other one to follow.

I'm still having real difficulty sexing my new silkie ... I originally thought I brought 4 hens however one developed into a cock n he his very different to the girlies. Josephene was born end of April n two of the hens looked after her. All the hens a pretty vocal as I have a resident dog so they all like to inform me he's around ... so new hen is roughly 4 months old n she looks very similar to mom I carnt get close enough to her but wondered if someone could help as I have 2 new baby's that hatched today too.... the grey is female the white is a cockerel ... I'm wondering if anyone can help with the darker one

Id say female. As the combs look simular to the grey one. Ive found out i have a hen and roo as 1 is now laying eggs and sitting on them! Wont get off tbh lol

They are very simlar except I've noticed a little fleshy bobble like thing in between where the eyes finish. Sorry I'm not technical when it comes to chickens

That is probably a comb witch roosters you can see more so that's probably a roo
