I am not very experienced with sexing and currently need help sexing my own silkies, but I have done tons of research on silkie sexing and I see no signs in either of your silkies that they are a rooster. I would says they are hens. How old are they?

They are about 5 months old. I have had silkies for a long time, but sometimes I doubt myself. I have customers waiting for hens, and I don't want to be wrong. I have been suprised more than once!

I completely understand. In my opinion they both look like hens, but silkies are very tricky to sex. It stinks because they are my favorite breed, but I can only have hens.

I would love to have a rooster, but we aren't supposed to have any chickens where I live. But we have hens anyway. I guess you could say we are underground chicken owners
