silkie sexing

[kbh82310]

What surprises me is he has no roo behavior other than the crow this morning. Supper gentile and passive, going to miss him!

It was a couple weeks after he crowed before he turned into a jerk

I have 3 silkies I hatched out 16 weeks ago. This is my first experience with Silkies and they have been an absolute pleasure to have. They are gorgeous and as sweet as can be. But I need help sexing them. I snapped a few pics of them while they were out free-ranging for the first time today. They may not be perfect angels but any ideas on their sex will help.

Black Silkie


Both white silkies... both their tail feathers are just starting to grow back after being pecked out earlier in the summer.



So, what do you think?

I think the whites are girls, but I can't see the other one very well.

This is the only other pic I have of the black silkie. I know this one isn't the greatest either but it's worth sharing. I am leaning towards this little guy being a "him". Which I would be SOOOO happy if the 2 little white girls turned out to be girls and this one a boy.

I think this one is a cockerel. Looks like my splash boy, just a different color. Streamers in crest, tall stance...

What do you think about my 10 week old? We've been calling her a she. She is smaller than her brother and a smaller comb, but I still don't know.
She is still getting a lot of crest feathers in so it's hard to tell by that. She is a frizzle too. I have a pic of her back but don't think it will help since she's too young for the hackle/saddle feathers.
