Silkie Sex Guessing

[MadamContrary]

So classic Silkie guessing game. I have thought this white bird was a cockerel from the beginning, but at six months no crowing and a flat comb. It also holds it's body pretty low, just like the bird I think is is pullet. It's at the top of the pecking order.

No hard feathers in the tail and it's pretty rounded.

Looks like a Pullet.

This one I think is a pullet, it's the only bird with comb development, but has a nice round crest and typical posture and behavior of a female. Also 6 months old so possibly nearing laying age (I hope )

Next to the white one.

And if anyone knows if my odd emu looking bird on the far left has any chance of being a pullet with that gold around the neck and breast? Flat, single comb, frizzled, silked, terrified of everything. As soon as I saw that color I assumed cockerel.

Looks like a Pullet.

I sure hope so!

The black one also looks like a pullet. The one thing about Silkies is you can never be sure.

Now that's the truth.

I used to raise silkies. They both look like pullets. Pretty!

Two pullets

I see, the white one has more of a hat than a round pouf, that's what I'm seeing on my white one, just not as full.

And I had trimmed both across the eyes. Helps them..walk more straight and able to see their food.
