Silkie Gender??

[FeatherTay]

I got 2 splash silkie chicks at about 3 weeks 2 months ago. I think that they are about 2.5 months. Their names are Gravy and Queso.

I'm not seeing any obvious streamers and those combs are tiny so unless they are slow developing boys I think you've got a pair of pullets there. Very pretty!

I agree on varieties and genders!

That’s so weird! I have two blue silkies that are a lot darker than Queso. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but it surprises me!
This was my blue as a baby:

And this was Queso:

And this was gravy:

Is there a reason why this happens. I don’t care too much honestly but I really like splashes.

There's a range in shades of blue. I think you just have a lighter and a darker one

Hey yall! Back again!
I got 2 blue silkies about 2 months old.
My questions:
Are they ACTUALLY blue?
Genders? (I think boys but not 100%)
Can genders be seen at this point?
Which one better meets SOP/ which one should I keep to breed with gravy and queso (if boys)
