silkie sexing

[howfunkyisurchicken]

I've not seen those type combs on silkies before...what breed are they mixed with?

These are my silkies. Unsure of these. Silkie 1 . Silkie 2 . And silkie 3

They probably came from a hatchery, its common for pet/hatchery quality Silkies to have an improper single comb and slight to no feathers on their legs. And, they all look pretty boyish to me...how old are they?

Okay, here comes round two. I think I already know the answer to this question....boy or girl (crossing my fingers and grasping at any thread of hope it might surprise me an be a girl)? I've suspected from a very young age that I got a roo sHE is 8 weeks old.

I agree that looks like a rooster. Actually looking at the pictures again I may be wrong. This is a hard one! But behavior sounds rooish

I would post pictures of your 2 again in a few weeks. They were very ambiguous!

I saw some of those at TSC this spring and was very confused. Dark skin, and silkied feathering but strait combs on most and only 4 toes if I remember.
Not true to breed at all! But I have to admit that they look pretty cool!
