Silkie and Cemanis gender

[Heather94]

Any help determining gender? Silkie hatched 7/1, so 22weeks. Cemanis (3) are 20 weeks old tomorrow. Thanks

They all look like pullets to me!

There’s a male and a female Cemani. I think the one with the bigger crest is male.

I can’t tell the gender of the Silkie.

They’re all soooo cute!! Hope you can keep them all!!

Awesome!! Thanks

i had thought that too!, but the absence of pointed Saddle or hackle feathers were throwing me off. Is it possible for a rooster to still not have rooster feathers at 20 weeks?

 

[Heather94]

And I can and will definitely Keep them all regardless of gender

They’re a bit small for 20 weeks. Are you feeding a complete feed?

Yes they have been on grower feed until this week. We just switched them to layer feed when they hit 20 weeks.

you’re thinking the one with the purple foot band is a cockerel right? That’s the one i was thinking. Orange i was sure was a girl, but purple and blue i wasn’t sure
