Silkie and silkie mix genders? | 7 and 8 weeks.

[Cloverr39]

Hello. I know 7 and 8 weeks is a bit young, but I think I've figured out what most of them are (except a few that have me stumped). This is my 2nd year with silkies, but I've learned a bit and I enjoy helping other people with the genders of their silkies on here.

MC's photo is from 1 week ago because I thought I took pictures of him, but I ended up taking 4 pictures of Carlos. (The only way I can tell them apart is one is MC is non-bearded.)
The last 2 with no name is MC.

Here are my personal guesses:

Pookie - cockerel
Junior - cockerel
Loyd - pullet
Carlos - cockerel
Rosie - pullet
Oakley - no idea, leaning yards pullet
Night - no idea, leaning towards cockerel
Cloud - cockerel
Ducky - pullet
Chestnut - no idea
MC - cockerel

The non-silked ones are black silkie x isaballa bantam brahma mixes. Those ones I really can't figure out. They look like pullets, but act more dominant and stand tall.

Looking for more help with Oakley, Chestnut and Night.

Which one is Chestnut? Labeling with names makes it alittle easier to figure out who's, who for sexing.

They are labeled. This is Chestnut.

Oh, okay. Thanks, I didn't realize the thumbnail had label added.

Oakley, & Chestnut are pullets. Also, not silkies. Either Satins, or Silkie mixes.

The rest of your guesses looks correct.

Okay, thanks! They're silkie mixes. Their dad was a silkie.

That would make a Sex-linked cross then, females black skin, males white skinned.

I have examples of this crossing. But I may not have a picture of a particular one though.

Really? That's really interesting. Is it like that with anything crossed with a silkie? All 3 of my mixes have dark skin. All 3 have the same parents.

Only if the father is the Silkie, & mother is white skin type breed. The opposite crossing would result in males, & females with black, or white skin.
