Sexing silkies

[Boergoatlover]

Hi all

It might be too early too tell but wondered if anybody could help me sex my 3 12 week old silkie chicks, I don’t mind if boys or girls as have set up for both but just intrigued!

Better pictures would help. They are a bit blurry. The buff has a wide comb so I think it's a male. The splash has a larger comb, so I think that's a male too. The white I can't quite see.

I’m so sorry I didn’t realise quite how blurry the photos were !! I thought splash maybe a boy but was not sure !

I'll tag @Debbie292d . I think they all look like cockerel.

Awe, so pretty!

I think you're right on the splash. That's a cockerel for sure. It's funny how some of those just scream cockerel through their eyes. He's doing that!

The white and buff ones, in my opinion, I lean pullet but they certainly could go either way at this point. Give it a couple of weeks and lets see them again.

Hi all

Wondering if you could help with one of the silkies who are now 6 months old.

One I am certain is female
2 are definitely boys

But my white and grey I can’t work it out I’m leaning more towards boy but no sign of a wattle yet whereas my other two boys have wattles and spurs forming and are crowing this one is also much smaller than my 2 boys but bigger than the one I’m thinking is female (can see all 4 chicks in photos)

Thanks !
