Silkie chick wing sexing?

Is anyone here good at it by chance? I remember reading some threads a while back and a few were really accurate with it. If so, anyone want to have a go with my four, one week olds? . I'll keep updating as they grow.

I don't think it's possible unless you know how the parents feathered in.

Well, that's a bummer. I guess I'll wait the standard six months or so to find out . Hoping for some little pullets out of these guys. I have 6 or 7 cockerel growing out right now, out of nine. So my luck hasn't been great lol

Start posting pics of combs at 8 weeks. Some give themselves away early.

You will know earlier than 6 months

I am hoping so! My one just turned eight months and started laying but developed a bigger then expected comb. It is a black single comb and hatchery stock though so it was a challenge lol. My others have been younger

You will know earlier than 6 months

Sorry! I have been working so much and exhausted when I'm not lol. Here is one of the babies. I'm not sure what type of photos you need exactly. Does this work? Or are body shots also needed? Tail feathers too?
