Silkie mix gender

[Ilovechickens28]

We have 5 silkie-mix that we got from a friend of ours. They are 10 weeks old and we wanted to know if there are any little Roos. I know it’s hard to tell but I was hoping to get others opinions. We are pretty sure number 4 and 5 are Roos as they already crow. Thanks for the advice.

They are all cockerels. I’m sorry but I don’t see any pullets, only boys.

Sorry I’m new to this can you explain why you think they’re all cockerels thanks

Definitely agree with Feathered.
They all have way too much comb growth for 10 week old pullets.
And some have cockerel feathering and patterning.

Agree also, but number 1 could possibly be a pullet, but I'm second guessing myself, this is my silkie rooster

this one is when he was about 7 weeks

here he was just about 4 weeks old

They all look like roos to me... x

Their combs and wattles very defined for 10 weeks as well as some their colouring x

All cockerels................glossy, pointed saddle and back feathers, bright red comb and wattles, and they have the 'roo stance'

Cockerel, all of them

#1 has cockerel feathering. That's without taking the comb into consideration.
