Silkie Sexing Help

[tripleee]

Hi everyone! I have three Silkie chicks that I’m hoping to get hell sexing. In theory I have a Black, Blue, and Barred but I can’t for the life of me tell the difference between the blue and black. They are 3 months old now.

The barred seems to be a pullet. I think that the black may be a cockerel, but I'm not sure. Unsure on the blue.

Agree with barred one being pullet. Can’t really say a definite answer for the others.

@LynnaePB You're good at silkies. Thoughts?

Agree with above posters the barred (known as cuckoo) is a pullet. Can you get some good close up photos of the other 2, head on showing any comb and profile?

Agree with other posters above.

I agree the barred is looking like a little pullet. Hard to say for the other two without seeing photos of the combs. The black/blue with the larger crest I'm leaning towards maybe being a pullet due to the absence of streamers. The other black/blues crest is harder for me to judge so a comb shot of that one would be especially helpful.

They are very cute!

Thank you guys!!! I’ll get some close up comb shots of the other two tomorrow!
