silkie sexing

[silkiemelon]

I'm reposting my 2 silkies. Can anyone tell what they are please? Thanks.

How old are they? At the moment, they look still very young, but I would say that the black is a cockerel and the white a pullet. But there weren't really any direct pictures of their combs, so I could be wrong.

Thank you for your reply. They're approx 8 weeks old. The black one is a little older. Here are some additional pics. Maybe these will help.

Well, at 8 weeks things could change, but for right now I'm going to stand by my previous opinio, with white being a pullet and the balck a cockerel. But who knows, the black could be a pullet with just a tiny bit larger comb than usual. It will be a couple more weeks till you can tell for sure I think.
