So for starters, I know that silkies are notoriously difficult...but let's make some educated guesses 😉
Is the comb development at this age indicative of roo?
These are pet quality, mom does not have the round floof. I think the dad has more of a rose(??not walnut) comb.
13 weeks old. No visible hackle or saddle feathers, or streamers at this time.
The chick in the second pic has mostly pink skin, the first one has more typical silkie bluish skin.

Here's a screenshot from a video a few days ago...maybe some insight there.
Also adding again that thier mom has swoopy hair, kind of roo-ish. Also it seems like they are redder in the AM and less vibrant through the day?
