Silkie genders

[LiizardWiitch]

They are about 10 weeks now im thinking the darker one might be a roo?

And then a hen? Or both roos?

@Debbie292d do you know? I’m not too good with silkie genders

The one in the first two photos looks to be a pullet so far. The one in the third and fourth may be a cockerel. I’d wait another few weeks as silkies are very hard to tell.

I'd lean that way you are thinking but when we guess at that age, we're right 50% of the time.

I have some turning 3 months old that are not definite yet either.

Usually by 4 months, the ones that are cockerels start trying to crow and it's pretty easy to guess correctly. By 5 months, I pretty much have it down though.
