i have been reading that it is very hard to sex silkies...but i thought you could give it a shot
this is the only silkie i have presently...i may end up w/ a couple more i am liking them so much

Meet Thunder @ 9 weeks old

as usual if you need better pics just let me know...i will probably have to let another month go by before you can actually tell i am thinking
but thnx for your guesses

ETA: sorry didnt realize the pic was so blurry...may try for another tmw just so you have something to guess at...lol

Between 9 and 12 weeks my silkies changed ALOT. Feel free to see them here: http://www.trek4nets.org/Chickens.html for comparison. Watch for the waddle and for what happens with the crest on top. The ones we think are girls have a more rounded crest and no waddle or very small waddle. Only one crows still so we are not positive what we have either but I so see interesting changes in them all each day.

Looks female to me, currently, though the picture is somewhat blurry.
