Silkies are very hard to sex.

You can sometimes make guesses by the way they act.

 

[Livlif2itsfulest]

really if you look close enough they have 2 different combs one has spikes and one looks as though up smooshed it spikes that is why I was hopeing... plus the splash they are the same age and one is huge and one is tiny... I just didnt know if that mean anything... they are from the same line... hmmm...

oh, the spikes would most likely mean a silkie cross, because thats the start of a single comb, I have a silkie chick that has a single comb and also a silkie chick that has a silkie comb

My silkies are 13 weeks old and I only know the sex of 1 for sure. I agree, they are very hard to sex. They are a breed that you really have to just wait and see. They are a late bloomer as well. The one w/ the single comb may be easier to tell sooner because you may get a quicker development and color change.
