Silkie Sexing

[SammyMartka]

I have 4 silkies that I can't tell if they are male or female. I'm guessing 2 maybe 3 females and 1 maybe 2 males.

I think this one is a female.

I think this one is a male based on the weird looking comb.

I will have to get better photos of them later today. What do you guys think?

I think you are probably correct. Those would be my guesses. What age are these chickens?

About 54 days, 7 weeks at the least

That's pretty early for Silkies. Best to keep an eye on their combs. Comb size and height before 14 weeks or so usually means you've got a boy.

Yes #2 is a male
