silkie sexing

[MymanTuesday]

I'm now thinking they are both pullets myself, only because I think the comb on a roo would be a little more pronounced by now, but then my first silkie hen turned roo on me (and I got him around that age from someone who raised silkies, go figure)... My rule of thumb look and listen... Look for eggs or listen for crowing gl

How'd you get shim to stand so still for photos it's hard to tell at 7 Weeks, I'm gonna go with a pullet though. Not much comb going on and no waddles to speak of either, please let us know Howe it goes! Gl [/quote]

9 weeks... what do you think?

Pullet, doesn't look like any streamers, tiny waddles and nit much of a comb. Adorable either way. Love silkies!

It's really hard to tell anytime, but especially before they're fully feathered. I have no guesses on one or three, but do think #2 is looking quite rooish, getting a nice little comb already gl

Any guesses on our three 5 week old chicks, or is it too early? Chick #1 Chick #2 Chick #3 I'm suspecting #1 might be a roo? They aren't normally in the sandbox - it was just an easy place to take pictures.

To soon to tell on pullet/roo, but I'm going with partridge for their coloring, adorable! Gl

1 1 2 2 Too soon to tell? Wondering about their color too.

They all look like pullets to me, no pronounced streamers, Combs or waddles. They are all just beautiful too!

Ok I will post mine here, I posted a thread earlier today but have not seen any replies yet! I have three that are 8 weeks old, one white, one paint and one blue. Here they are! Thank you for your help!!!

A few days old, I know it's near impossible to sex them before 4-8weeks, but thought I'd see what popular opinion is anyway
They're unsexed hatchery chicks, I picked them both for the nice round poofy crest, the other 4 had flat/no crest

With a comb like that, I'm going to say cockerel.
