Silkie sexing

[Dawng97]

I have read and read and read about how to sex a silkie and that they are notoriously hard to sex. I understand at this age it will be all guesses. I'm so impatient! If course I want hens but even if all six are roosters as long as there is no aggressive behavior they will be welcome. Soooo anyone want to see pictures and we can play the guessing game???? They are about 9/10 weeks old now. sorry about the brown one double picture. I only have 2 brown. I couldnt figure out how to remove it

Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC!

We need to see combs at this age. Also natural side standing shots are better.

For informational purposes... the color you are referring to as brown is called buff in chickens.

White #3 looks like it might be a cockerel.

The very last white one looks to be a pullet. Can't really tell from the pictures.

But in all honesty it is still way to early to tell for sure.

Is there a certain thing you need to see in a picture? The person below this said combs?

I also have a Wilkie I’m not sure about the sex. Is this a buff or a partridge and what is the sex?
