Silkie Genders?

[FreckledFourCoop]

I am new to chickens and I’ve read it’s incredible hard to sex them when they are younger. I was just curious if it’s possible to guess these guys yet? They are roughly 4-5 weeks old now.

Black Chick #1
Gray Chick
Buff Chick
White Chick
Black Chick #2

Wayyyy to your to tell.

It’s incredibly difficult to sex silkies at this age.
I’ll take some guesses though.

Black Chick #1 - pullet
Gray Chick - pullet
Buff Chick - pullet
White Chick - cockerel
Black Chick #2 - cockerel

Very, very early, so if we're giving answers, it's likely mostly a guess. However, I agree with All4Eggz.

I figured it was, I’m incredibly attached to black chick 1 so I’m really hoping it’s a pullet.


It’s also fun to hear guesses and then look back when they are older. Thanks for taking a guess!

No problem. Be sure to keep us posted!

Too young for most but I bet black chick #2 is a cockerel

That's what I would guess at this point too.
