Silkie novice!

[MandyandDaz]

Hi there. My name is Mandy, and as must as I hate to admit it I think I got 'done'. I bought 2 female golden silkies, 11 months old. ive recently been told that they are 5-6 months old cockerels! Ive just took some pictures, and just really need clarification from some experts, but I do believe that after googling, that I really have males Could you have a look let me know what you think please? Thanking you soooo much

They look like boys to me, but with silkies it is notoriously hard to say for sure until they lay or crow. So be on the lookout for crowing! I have been fooled by teenage silkies before!!! I even read once a story about how some silkie judges were arguing over the gender of a silkie that should have been old enough to tell male or female.

They do really look like cockerels to me, though. I would wait.
