Right now I think only your blacks look like roos, but the porcelain could go either way. I would wait until they're about 8-10 weeks old and post more pictures of the group. At this point it's just me guessing.

Hey all. Here are my 10.5 weeks old silkies. What do we think on the sex??

i reckon the silkie in the second picture is female and the other is probably male

I'm almost positive that Hershel is a boy cause he's my only silkie that has a big comb and wattles (I think they're called). But, just curious on what everyone else thinks..

Hershel
...and a few pics of my others

Btw... The silkies are all about 7 or 8 weeks old

This is my first Silkie ever and sadly I'm thinking cockerel.
Patty is 6 1/2 weeks old from Ideal hatchery
Maybe Pat?















Thanks!!

That certainly looks like a cockerel .
