I’m usually pretty good at this but this is my first time having silkies and they are definitely a little harder to sex. Anybody know what gender they are😅? My guess is that the black one is a roo because it’s got some solid comb development but the white one has me stumped. They are about 7 weeks old

Alright it’s been about 3 weeks and they are about 9 weeks old now, I haven’t noticed much of a change but I’m still guessing they are both cockerels. White chick is significantly bigger than the black chick
