Ive got these 2 cuties and im just wondering if they can be sexed by now? I know they say it takes a long time to tell but maybe someone knows more about them than I do. The splash colored silkie is called fluffy, and i thought it was a boy just bc it was bigger than the buff one. But it doesnt ever try to fight when the other cockerels are going at it. Fluffy is super chill. And then there is Princess, the buff silkie. She is soooo so tiny! Also I wondering if its normal for them to be so little. I know they are bantams but they are just so small, especially Princess!

what do you think mine is? it’s 11 weeks old as well.
My white one turned out to be a male and the buff was a female, if that's helpful. The females usually have more of a round pouf and the males feathers on the head are usually all different lengths. I will post some pics of mine now to show the difference

Both of these white ones also ended up being males, the partridge is a female. Hope that helps, but I'm not a silkie expert. I've only had a few.
