I never got replies on my "Mister Pink".   Getting wattles now, too... Do girls get those, or just boys?

Unbearded females also get wattles.

I have 3 silkie chicks, they're about 7-8 week, they might even be 9 week old, i also know one of them, unsure which is 1 week older than the other two,im not sure, anyway, I'm really struggling to sex them, although I think I have one roo and two pullets?
Chick 1)

Silkie 2)

Silkie 3) this one has a small cut on his/hers beak, she/he was very wary of the camera, must of thought it was going to kill her/him haha

Chick 1 I think is a pullet
Chick 2 I think is a rooster
Chick 3 could go either way.

Could you help me to sex my silkie? It is probably about 3 month old.
I hope so much it is a she because I love the colour. My other three silkies are white and at least two of them are roos

On the last picture it is with my other chicks. It is obvious its wattles are smaller than the white silkie's who is beside it. May it mean it is a pullet?




And how do you name its colour? Is it partridge?
Its real colour is shown on the first two pictures. Other two are are taken with other camera and at different time. That is why the colour isn't the same.

Hmm I think that one may also be a roo. The comb and wattles are starting to go red and the deep red on the wings is a rooster colour. It is a partridge.

I was thinking the same thing. I think I'm getting pretty good at this lol Now if only I could be right on babies.... picking up 4 more silkie chicks today and 4 standard cochin chicks too so excited eeeeeeek.

I've gone chicken crazy lol. It's the husbands fault. He wanted chickens for eggs and I went along. Now I LOVE my chickies <3

I'm still a newbie silkie mama but I'm gonna guess roo. Because his comb looks slicked back and not so poofy. Also think I see some longer feathers in there (forgot what to call them lol)
