Sexing Silky Chicks

Hi can anyone provide any advice for sexing silky chicks. Hatched yesterday and this is my first batch of incubating silkies. Thanks

One of the biggest down falls of Silkies are they very hard to sex. They mature slower. You usually can’t sex them until about 3-6 months when they crow or lay an egg. Many people that need to know sooner get dna sexing done by http://iqbirdtesting.com/ it’s about $12 a bird and takes about a week.
