I got four chicks in May. They were hatched May 9th. Two dark gray ones and a white one are are about the same size and the buff one is smaller.
I hope pictures are okay. It is hard actually getting a focused shot.

I have suspected that I ended up with three roosters. They do a lot of chest bumping. But even Butter will do chest bumps. I need to decide if I need to rehome as I have Larry, bless his soul and four hens in flock. If Butter is a hen, that would be five hens and four roosters. (sigh)

Females will chest bump, & tussle around too.

Agree 👍 I have 2, 20 week old pullets and one goes full attack (charging the other one, Jumping at her, grabbing her head or neck) on her sister. She is definitely a she but acts very male like sometimes 🙄. That said I can't help on the genders of silkies, just saying attitude is not always a sign of gender
