Silkie Sex

[Nicole_Hutchison]

Can you help me sex my white silkie and paint silkie? I know silkies are super slow to mature and very difficult to sex, but hoping for an expert to help give me some guesses! About 2-3 months old.

At that age you really need clear photos of the combs, which means parting their crests so the combs are visible. Even then it is difficult with Silkies. Later on they are easier. A lot of folks send in samples to a DNA lab to sex young Silkies because of the difficulty sexing them.

My guess would be 1 is a roo and 2 is a pullet
