silkie sexing

Thanks for taking a look. It's funny you think the lightest one could be another cockerel. My next suspect was actually the darkest! I also think they're all pretty adorable. Purchased eggs from a breeder and all the chicks with correct feet and combs were partridge. Rehomed everyone else.

You would definitely know better than me. At this age it's really just a guess. I've been wrong many times!

How old? It looks like a cockerel to me but has a pullet like stance

Ashtree you were bang on! Maria started crowing this morning! So that makes two roosters from our group of 8 so-called hens... Fingers crossed no more start crowing lol

She looks like a pullet. Pictures of her comb would help confirm that.

The comb looks pretty flat, so I'd say pullet.

These two are a bit too young to sex. Try posting again in a few more weeks.
