silkie sexing

[minxie]

@silkiecuddles calm and still hasn't hit the puberty part of life, because still acts like a chick, runs around and pecks at everything that moves, and being the lowest in the pecking order acts like the hens in my opinion, but the whole feathers throw me off my game, i keep saying female but my gut thinks male as for the look, be latte acts like a henif to say the most, because i've never had a male chicken.

I have two sikies, I am starting to think the buff is a pullet and the white a cockrel what do you guys think?

Hi does this look like a silkie Roo he/she is 15 weeks old does not look at all like my other 15 week old silkie Roo . Can it be a hen or a mix breed bought my 6 silkies at the same time

This is my Roo that I'm comparing with

It's just a slight difference. Nothing major, and the other one may grow.

I've noticed feathering in hatchery quality silkies can be a bit unpredictable. I don't think he's a mix hes just not show quality.
