Silkie Gender Reveal - Part 1

I know it’s too early for the novice, but wanted to see if the Master Silkie owners & breeders had an idea…

My first Silkie is only 10-11 weeks and is already getting his voice (he’s my spoiled baby though… - first & second pictures).

As always thank you for your time and experience!

First one is a Cockerel, & a mix of silkie, & something else.

All but the last chick appears to be a cockerel.

They're still really to young to tell. But yes, the one in the 1-2 pics is a cockerel.
But on the others, post more pics in about 2-4 more weeks, and do pics of the combs and back.

Silkie mix in the first pics is male.

Rest it's too early I think.

It's the year of the roos again. Had quite a few cockerels this year too.

Any idea what he could be mixed with? His temperament is extremely loving and gentle.

Do you know who the father, or mother of the chick maybe?

A few popular silkie crosses out there are: Silkie X Polish, Silkie X D'uccle, Silkie X Sablepoot, & Silkie X Cochin.

But other crosses maybe possible.

Unfortunately not…. He was given to me at a few days old and they got him from an livestock auction.

Then he's most likely Silkie X something. Still very pretty.
