silkie sexing

[BrittanyLee]

This is my 6 week old silkie "Banjo"
We bought her at two weeks and they told us they couldn't sex silkies at that age so we have no idea if Banjo is a girl or a boy! In our town we're not allowed to have roosters.

Does anyone know how to tell gender at this age?

Does anyone have an idea of what she might look like grown up?

Also she is completely obsessed with my other chick and can't stand being without her. Is that a breed thing because my other one is not like that.

BrittanyLee, as for gender, can't help, sorry (bad at silkie sexing, especially young ones), but that looks like a partridge silkie to me:

What's my silkie???
Some days it looks like a roo others it looks like a hen.
Doesn't have the personality my silkie roo did (I could tell he was a roo at this point by behavior, but I only had 5 chickens now there is 15 so that could affect behavior as well)

My silkie is just about 12 weeks old, photos ranging from 9 weeks to 12 weeks listed most recent to oldest.

THANKS!












This one is definitely a roo:

Any guesses guys??? I really can't keep another roo....

My guess is the first is a girl, and the rest are boys.
But who knows silkies are so hard!
I usually figure out mine by their personalities.
