silkie sexing

[appps]

It would be interesting if posters returned after sex is confirmed with the results and how many guesses were right

You would have to google as I don't have the link saved but there is a method of sexing silkies by comb shape rather than size. Can't remember which but one sex tends to have a more figure 8 shape than the other. HTH !

Oh, that's very interesting! I thought it was just size! Thanks!

I may have to rope hubby into helping me -- one person hold, one take the photo. LOL

They are way too young, plus we would need to see the comb. I'm guessing they are around 2 or 3 weeks or so? You still have about a month or so till we could take a guess. Brown one is gonna be pretty tho!

What age do silkies crow in got a 16 week old think its a roo but no crowing and my hens are pickin on it even the mother

One of my 3 Roos crowed yesterday for the first time. They are 15 weeks today, should be anytime now. The crow isn't that loud so unless your with him all the time he could have already crowed..
