I hope u can help us we are chicken novice and got three silkies this spring.we were hoping to have three hens but I think we have two roos and a pullet. We have a white (Tyler, formerly Cinderella) black (Luna) and buff (Fuzzy). Here are their pictures. I suspect the black is a pullet and the other two r roos. Thanks so very much for ur help.

Actually, the only one that remotely looks like a roo is Tyler.

Silkies are usually "easier" to sex when they lay or crow haha, but seriously. Personally it's easier to sex when 4-6 months old

Good Afternoon, I am hoping that you are still helping out. I purchased the silkie hen and she/he is starting to look like a male to me. Can you please help? I'm not supposed to have roosters.
