Hey I'm new to chickens and I have four silkies, two of which I need help sexing.
The white is for sure male, and the black is female. I'm not sure about the buffs though. I'm not allowed to keep roosters, so I want to be sure of the sexes now rather than later.
The first buff I suspect is female and the second male, I am right to assume this? I basing my analysis on their head feathers, combs, and wattles. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
