My 6 silkies are around 12 weeks old, I think I know the sex of a few of them but some are really hard to tell

This is clementine, 99,9% sure it's a roo

Daisy (pullet?)

Dave (pullet?)

Cupcake, I really don't know for this one

Rose, my favourite chick, I thought he/she was a pullet but now he/she is growing streamers

Eva (roo?)

This is one of my favorites. He/She is one of 20, so it's hard to get photos of any ONE of them. These chicks are 10 weeks. I have some white ones that look and behave like roosters - very aggressive. The others are more timid. Do you think this one is a hen or a roo? I'm hoping it's a hen!

This is some of the others



Thank you so much!!

Looks like a roo, you can see some streamers coming in but it's hard to tell. The same thing happened to me, my favourite white silkie is starting to grow streamers!

Your silkies very pretty though! And the buff one is such a beautiful colour!

There is no sexting a silkie until it crows or lays a egg

Those are beautiful!!! My silkies are 5 weeks old, have round heads and round pompom tails. One has more leg hair than the other. I wonder? I don't have a close up pics yet.

But its nice to have an idea at least I've been 100% sexing my own, but its not easy from pictures. The whole bird plus how it acts is how you can tell
