Leaning towards pullet
My best guess would be a Samuel
Leaning towards pullet
Hard to tell at the angle in these pics. Could you post a font pic of the comb and a full body pic?

Thank you SO much, silkiecuddles!!!
I'll get a few new pics of him or her.
I ried to take pics of each from the front, like a portrait and in profile. Unfortunately the front-view pics were blurry.
I appreciate you interest, your help and opinions!

I am pretty sure its a male also. The tuff on the top has me a bit confused though. It doesnt seem to be flowing back, instead up then flows over like a waterfall all around. This little is complicated. The legs and feet full of feathers. Ill be surprised if its a hen. This is my one and only silkie we got as a pet for the kids and i have my seperate chickens. This one should be 10 weeks on the 26th

Any ideas on my little baby? He/she is around 14-15 weeks old. Thank you for any advice you can give =)

You're welcome
Keep in mind, they're still really young so it's pretty impossible to know what they are yet.

My silkies are a little over 4 months. The black one is a little bigger than the blue one. They don't act like roos, but that could be because they are low on the pecking order. So far I haven't seen them crowing (we have too many roos to just hear crowing). The roos treat them like hens, and the hens treat them like hens.

The white silkie, just started to crow, Amazing how fast the head and wattles changed recently as well as the head spikes.  I was wondering what to do now. My pellets have a alpha pullet, she does a great job.  The silkies were added later and are still young. Should I build a separate housing for the silkies.  Right now they all get a long very well and the rooster silkie is very mellow so far.  I really don't want to breed.  Is it okay to remove the female and male silkies to their own coop?  Or just leave things alone while they are working?

If they are all getting along fine, no need to move them. I had a silkie roo, he was always mellow with the hens and with humans.

Could anyone give me a guess as to what gender my little Coco is?

I' sorry to be still learning these techniques myself...so I can't help with the sexing. However I Must say that your Coco is one of the most gorgeous silkies I've seen posted!
Where did you get Coco? And do you know what the color (name of color) is? Thanks.

 

[krystie]

Hello! Thank you very much! I truly believe Coco is a roo. We just picked up and all white hen 2 days ago. His color is called Partridge, but seems to be turning a blue partridge. His who bottom and top muff is now turning to a blue fluff ans the rest of the body is the mic brown you see. I got him about 45 minutes from me at CSF Farms in Odessa ontario. She has a few partridge color roos and hens she breeds. Some of the most amaxing color partridge silkies ive seen.

@silkiecuddles,I posted follow up pics of Zuzu/Zuza a coupe of days ago hoping you'd be able to see them. (Of Course) Now I can't find that post. I really aplogize!
If this group of kind people will indulge me just this one more time, I'm going to repost the pics of "Zu".
Thanks in advance to you and to anyone else that wants to give me a better idea!









I hope these pics, if seen enlarged a bit, will help silkiecuddles and anyone else to give their opinion!
If we're still not sure...as is likely when they're this young (silkie chicks are 9 weeks old now!) I'll take new pics and post in a couple of weeks.
Thanks!
