Silkie cockerels?

[mmmarta]

Are these fellas little roosters?
Silkies, 6-7 weeks old..

Do they all have streamers? Or too early to tell?
I'm trying to sell/re-home them, and if they look like cockerels, I want to warn people ..

Btw, they are 5 different chicks - 2 gray, 2 black, one goldenhead

Ok, I looked through some older threads, and you're going to tell me to take pics of the combs, up close, and tell me it's too early

I'll take better pics, but if someone thinks any of them looks like a little cockerel based on what you see, please let me know

You are right they are too young. The only one I could tell you definitively is a male is your partridge. In the photo looks like there’s some reddish feathers coming in over the wings, which is a cockerel sign in Partridge silkies. One of the only colors where you can tell gender by coloring. The other ones are way too young. I would just tell the people who are buying them that you do not know the genders and they have to take their chances. This is usually the case with selling young/juvenile Silkies.

Thank you so much!
Very interesting information about the partridge feathers - and a bummer, I was hoping to keep him. Oh, if I only could have many roosters...

These are too young to say for sure. Also need close ups of the combs.
