Got some pics of my silkies. I have five I have 3 white silkies. Each white silkie has a different color in between them. I also have two polish’s I’ll put one at the beginning and one at the end. There is a splash silkie in between two whites if you look at the beak you can see the different birds.
I would bet the one with the "clumpier" comb, as you put it, is a roo. On the Polish, the crest looks female, but there's a lot of red on the face and wattle. Is it really hot where you are? That could explain how red it is.
I thought there was only one Polish. The one in the first pic looks like it's getting streamers in back, so I'd say that one might be a roo. The last one, I can't see the back of the bird's head, but if no streamers, I'm stumped because of the redness.
That’s what had me also. And yes I live in Florida so right now it’s averaging between high 80s and 90s everyday. Also the clumpier silkies comb has some maroon showing through while the rest are grey.
Still going with the clumpy combed character with the mulberry coloring to the comb, soon he will crow more and you will observe it and know for sure...
