silkie sexing

[PoultryPower]

I got these guys at the feed store a month ago. I think they are all roos except for maybe the black one, and possibly the white. What do you think. There is a black frizzle roo in the group photo and one of the reds ducked behind the ramp.

I agree, I think that only the white silkie in the last picture could be a girl. I was told that roos had that bumpy pimply looking comb while hens have much softer smoother combs.

That muscovy in the first picture has me cracking up! Sorry. .Not sure on this one, just had to throw that out there.

That's Brownie, aka P-Diddy (his white chest has a big brown "P" on it!

I know this is a silkie thready but since you like P-Diddy here he is. Heh Priscila my white siklie is in the background so I guess it counts

And Chuckie

I don't know if all the pictures of the white silkies are the same silkie or not but the white one in the last picture looks like it could be a rooster. I can't really give you a good guess though without seeing the comb, sorry. Your very brave to have showgirls, I don't know if I could stand to look at those bald necks all day!

 

[MamaMarcy]

yes it's all the same white bird

Hoping these show her comb better...this is my Priscila Pearl. I guess if it's a boy he'll be Pearlman. About 4 months old and comb JUST started turning a couple days ago. Yes, she has a spraddle leg.

Red comb = rooster.

That's my math at least.

anyone else agree roo?
