Silkie questions/ sex?

[kelsienorman]

Hello.

I have 2 silkies that are 4 weeks today. I have a couple questions about each.

Chick 1: the little white one has a brown spot on her head. Does this indicate gender? Is it normal? Are they looking male or female?

Chick 2: the partridge doesn’t seem to have silkie feathers. Is this normal when chicks start to feather out? Are they looking male or female?

Thanks so much for answering my questions. I’ve attached pictures of each chick!!

Both are silkie crosses aka satin silkies. The brown spot does not indicate gender. At this point, a gender guess is just that - a guess, but I will GUESS that both are cockerels.

Hey there!! I have an update. The chicks are now 7 weeks! Is it still a guess at this point? Thanks

Anyone care to make guesses on our 11 week old Silkie?

Comb size and streamers point to cockerel in my opinion

That’s what we think too. I never realized how DIFFICULT it would be to get pics of a wiggling chick
