silkie sexing

[cassbickford]

Thanks for the quick replies! I thought that he was a cockerel from about three weeks when his purple comb exploded out over night. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he is.

Any guesses on my 3 silkies my blue is so much smaller than the other 2 but same age !

 

[Brooke78]

Any help with my 12 week old hatchery Silkie?



















It's either Patty or Sir Patrick Thrillington the Third.
I have no other roosters and yet no crow or real cockerel behavior. He/she is with 6 other 12 week old girls and also 15 month old hens. He/she seems to do the typical pecking order fighting but is really moving among the older girls where the other chicks stay away much more.

Any input is welcome.

I'd say he's a rooster.

Because of the very upright posture, wide comb and longer tail feathers coming in I'm saying roo!

Wondering if I can get some opinions on my white silkie.

it's about 14 weeks old, just hatchery quality.
