What do we think of these two? I thought Roos, but a few friends have questioned it. Obviously I’m hoping they’re right!

Looks like both are pullets! They mayy just be slow maturing cockerels but I am not seeing any streamer feathers on the head which would indicate male. Plus their combs are nice and small!

Oooo that's exciting!! I had them written off as boys!

The combs are large for that age. I think cockerels, myself, but Silkies are tough. Maybe @MysteryChicken won't mind me calling for expert help.

They look like cockerels based on combs, & the wattle lines on the first.

I agree! Ill be very surprised if they’re hens

Very rarely you'll get pullets with those features.

I’m hoping a few of the others are girls

Hard telling with these two.
