Mine are at least 7 months old, and now I'm 'almost certain' they are 4 pullets and a roo. I will not swear by it until I see some eggs!

Well, I know that at least one of them is a pullet!! I found my first silkie egg this morning when I was outside feeding!

Too bad it was frozen

I can usually tell at 11-12 wks that the roosters will have longer streamers in the back of the crest (top knot) they will also by that age show a bigger thicker comb & wattle

Unbelievably small!! It was about the same size as the eggs I get from my pharoah quail!!
