Hello there! I know we all have our theories on sexing silkies and I am using this forum to help break the big silkie sexing mystery! I have several chicks I'm going to post pictures of. You guess sex and tell me why and in a fee months I'll check back in with confirmed on who was right and we will see if all correct people had same theory.

What is your theory behind this? Just the crown? I'm trying to get a better idea of what everyone looks at.
For her what stood out to me was the small, thin comb combined with the big poofy crest. Like I said, they're still too young, so there's not much to look at. Can you post updates in a couple weeks when they'll be about 8 weeks or older?
At this age what looks like it could be a pullet can suddenly start developing a bunch of cockerel traits 2 weeks later. That's what I've learned from my chicks.
 
1 roo. 2&3 pullet. First one has baby streamers and U crest. 2&3 have more of a poof and V crests. Although the tails throw me off because from personal experience boys have the fluffier tails and girls are more triangle shaped
 
Oooh! May I post my 2 girls here as well? They're about the same age as yours :)
