silkie sexing

[Beth G.]

This is private breeding stock from Bobbi Porto

I will still try to get you a pic of the back of the neck later. Whites are hard to get a clear picture on hackles for me b/c my eye sight is terrible the older I get but, I just have a real hard time with whites

you could try putting some of the feathers across your fings and separting them to get a better view/shot of the feathers

The white one could be a girl.
the others look to young.
the buff is most likely a roo

Thanks for all your help. It's a boy!!!

I ordered 4 whites, one passed away the first week and then the three that are left are all boys. Just seems my luck

I spread them over a red cloth as you suggested to do something similar and there it was clear as day very pointy PLUS, I swear over night those streamers grew in much more
