Silkie Genders

[hoeftam]

Hi! I got two silkie chicks from mypetchicken. They are supposed to be pullets but I know silkies are notoriously impossible to sex as day olds. My friend who raises silkies says that the white (splash) chick looks suspect and is possibly a roo (based on comb size and posture/stance). These two are five weeks old. Any guesses as to gender? I'll update with new pics each week. Thanks for any input!

Too young yet, sorry. Cute devils.

Agreed these little sweeties are too young. Comb width can fool you, so don’t go by that at this age.

Thanks everyone! I'll share more pics in a few weeks. I think they are pretty cute too. I just love these little fluffballs. I got 2 lavender orpingtons with them and they are pretty cute too, just not as fluffy.
