Silkie hatchling make or female?

[Swbertrand1]

Hi all, I have a silkie chick that hatched 3 days ago, see attached pics, is there ANY way of telling the sex with the babies coloring? The head is light on sides, and dark spot on very top of head. Also, the wings are lighter than rest of body. The dad is cream colored and mother is white, with dark at very end of wings and tale. Any suggestions?

Vent sexing is the only way they can be sexed this young. Sorry, Silkies can't be color/pattern sexed. With exception if they were bred to be sexlinked.

Silkies are also notoriously difficult to sex before maturity. You'll probably just have to wait for "crow or egg". S/he is precious though!!

Too young. Post pics of the comb, crest, and saddle at 12 weeks.
