Silkie sexing….I know I know they are a difficult breed…

I believe these 3 are cockerels. Figured I would get on here and see what other opinions are. They look like they have streamers already and combs and wattles. They are 10 weeks old.
the 4th one I believe is a hen these all hatched the same day.

The first 3 are cockerels. Do you have a close comb picture of the last one?

At this young age the first three do indeed look like cockerels. 4th one looks like a pullet, but could also be a later developing cockerel.
I do not see any definitive streamers, going by the wattle formation.

Thank you! I’m a little bummed the 2 I wanted to keep are Roos . I cant seem to find homes for them so I’ll have to cull them off. The one someone told me was possibly a silver Columbian I wanted to keep that one but it wasn’t meant to be I guess.

Not sure where you are in the world, but silkies are quite popular where I live. I am not as much of a silkie fan, but I know some people love them. Good luck with rehoming! Hopefully you dont need to end up culling them.
