I have some silkie chicks that I got on October 10th they are growing a lot but don't look like other breeds at 10 weeks wasn't sure about the difference in breeds any help on gender or age is very much appreciated.First pictures are from the day I got them. The flock picture is from Tuesday and the single pictures are from November 24th

Second and bottom single pictures I wanna say are pullat
Just a huge guess silkies are harder to tell then any of the breeds and I will tell you every time I have asked it has been wrong they say until they lay a egg will you know 100% or until they crow and even then can be questionably lol.However the puff on the tops of all of them look too to me.

I'm pretty sure both whites are Roos and the black I'm still not sure here's new pictures.

I agree on the 2 whites. How Old are they?

The bottom buff is the only one that I would say looks like a pullet but wait a while and repost them.

They're a little over 2 months old and I am pretty sure your right with the bottom being the only pullet

If that does turn out to be the case I'm sorry that's rotten luck. We generally run a little better than 50/50 pullets. We've had up to two thirds silkie pullets in a hatch before. But I also know we've been very lucky with the good odds

Yeah I'm probably going to get some easier sexing birds like EE's and just like one more silkie when I get rid of the extra Roos. Could two Roos also live happily with like 4 or five hens? There's five silkies at my local feed store and 3 are hens the other two Roos and they seem fine. I just wasn't sure

I'm pretty sure 3 are Roos just want to see if anyone could help me sex them. Thanks so much in advance

The black 1 and maybe the 2nd white also look like pullets to me.
