I will do more pictures today. They are still a bit shy. I'm trying to convince them to try meal worms or super worms to win them over but they are scared of the worms!! Even my tiny BSL chicks try to eat them!

2 and 3 look like roos, can you get a picture of 1 from the front to show the comb?

5 weeks old. I watched it outside a long time today and "she" is no more alert and doing the neck thing than the other pullets in her flock and readily lays down to sun bathe.
Opinions?
Also, what color do you think she is? Porcelain?

given the width of the comb i am leaning towards it being a cockerel instead of a pullet

That's what I was thinking/worried.

Hi, can anyone help. I don't have great pics as I don't own these but I'm going to see 2 silkies with a view to buy them.. The farm thinks they are both hens but obv cannot be sure. From looking at the pics I think the white is a pullet but I'm unsure on the splash as its younger. Thanks in advance
