Silkie Hens or Roosters?

[Christina.Rich]

Hi everyone,

I purchased these from a local auction hosted by a poultry/waterfowl club yesterday. Can anyone tell me how old they think they may be, what colors they are, and if you can tell if there are any roosters vs. hens? They are silkies

To me it appears you have Partridge and Buff silkies.
The one in the front on the last photo kinda has some rooster vibes, but I'm not good with silkies. I can't even tell on my own silkies.
As for the age.... maybe two and a half months? Dont quote me, that was just a pure guess! I'm sure educated and smart people will show up with trustworthy advice anytime now haha

@HuskerHens18 Thank you!

They look like they're about 4-5 weeks old. Of course they're older now since this post is a couple weeks old.

I can't tell if that's fuzz or feathering on their neck. If it's feathering then they're older, probably 7-8 weeks. If it's fuzz then probably closer to 5 weeks. I have no clue as to the sex!
