Sexing silkies

[Hillsvale]

Im not sure what "colour" they are but the lady I bought them from called the two red ones just the "red"... they are unbelievably cut and blend in with all the underbrush and dead tree stumps, and they sort of waddle ... too cute for words.

the charcoal on I suppose is actually a black silkie with reddish highlights... they are from the same hatch

they are just so cute and full of personality, I must try and get updated photos for better identification.

As requested...

Very interested in what these silkies are... the black one has red feathering around her neck... the red multi coloured hen with black on her head is just so cute... the red head appears to be a roo as waddles are staring to form and not on the others...

They are just so cute!

I hope I am not hijacking this thread, but I also have three baby silkies. They are just a couple of weeks old. Two out of the three are getting tail feathers, one is not. Does that mean anything at all with sexing a silkie????

Wow, so much to learn about chickens!

Thank you
