Silkie genders

[Melissa_05]

I have 6 beautiful silkies but I suspect i have 4 roos. I need help sexing these babies. They were hatched August 18 - 20 2021.

Third one (black satin with leakage) is male. I see male saddle feathers.
Please post close up photos of combs of each bird with crests pushed back. Best indicator at 3 months of age. Looks like you have a lot of pullets, comb photos needed to verify.
Love your frizzle, looks like a mop!

I agree. Love the mop reference!

They look like pullets but Oh boy some really have big combs!

Did you ever figure out their genders? If I had to guess #2 & 3 boys & possibly #1 but hard to tell based on photos alone.

Pictures 1, 2, and 3 look like boys for sure

Yes 1, 2, and 3 found their voice recently. #1 barely crows it's hilarious watching him take his stance, open his beak and nothing coming out.

Well good to know. My first time Silkies are only 1 week old so I have a long way to go! And will probably be posting gender pics later.
