They ALL look much girly than mine lol mine are right above yours. Are yours bearded silkies? Ive noticed while trying to figure mine out, that hens are much fuller in feathers on top of the head , in the face, and in the cheast. But like i said before there are silkie hens with wattles and combs also just depends on the variety you have apparently. All of yours are adorable! I wish i had one that looked like that lol mine are cute but not that cute! Oh and i dont have a lot of personal experience its very minited but the top one, emory, has streamers looks like might be a boy

I look at them each day and they just look so girly. I just don't know! I hatched them myself and being hatched usually have more boys than girls I know there are fellas in there somewhere! Lol yes they are all supposedly bearded. These are my first real batch of silkies. I adopted a silkie chick last year that I'm 99% sure is mixed with some other type. She has blue skin and the fluf feathers, but she's big and lays large eggs. So I don't really know what to look for. It's such a struggle.

Yours are cuties too!

My two who were at this age had huge combs and wattles and were both boys. From the pictures i think hens

I'm going to have to disagree Especially the one on the left.... Tails are too upright and they look to have streamers... But my phone won't enlarge the picture, si I could be wrong... But the tails... Hmmmm

I have new pictures of my silkies. I seriously can not figure out these silkies! They both seem like boys but one of them has a huge comb and wattles the other does not at all but they both seem to have streamers they both stand up tall and fight each other. They just arent as puffy as other hens their age. Now their mother had huge comb and wattles it was just that variety im assuming but with these two they just seem roo to me i wish at least one was a hen what do you all think could one be a hen?
