Silkie? Any Idea?

[BrindleFinch]

This is Bonnie & Clyde. We think they are both roos, which is fine as we live out in the country and mom loves crowing, oddly enough.

I was just wondering if there's any chance they could be hens? Sorry the pics are so far away; they're very respectful of my space, and since we think they're roos, I don't want to discourage that behavior.

From what I can tell you have a hen and a roo. The darker one looks like a roo and the lighter one a hen. Beautiful birds.

How old are they?

 

[BrindleFinch]

They were probably around a week when we got them in June, so probably 4 to 6 months right now!

We need more pictures I think. Close clear pics of the combs and crests. I'm not seeing anything from these pics that would make me think either is a 100% cockerel.

Closer pics would help. I think both might be pullets

Silkies are so difficult to sex sometimes!
