Hi all!
I'm new to owning silkies though I've done quite a bit of research. I know that Silkies are notoriously difficult to sex, but I'm going to ask anyway - what are your guesses? We're really thinking we have one Roo (the lighter black one with a bit more pronounced wattles), and two hens (the gray and darker black ones). The Roo is very independent, very assertive, a little bit of a loaner and has pecked at us a few times. He always seems like he's on alert. The other two are always together and a bit more reserved and shy. It takes them a while longer to figure things out (like how to use their ramp) than the suspected Roo since they're such introverts. They are all around 8 weeks old.
