silkie sexing

[cheeka]

okay, so "she's" (lol - it's too hard to be gender non-specific... and I want Silkie to be a girl) going to be a glaring ball of fluff that is virtually impossible to photograph or even look at without shades... glad you concur that Silkie is a pullet... she was raised by my Super Broody, so I'm hopeful that she took notes...

I will!

Yes unfortunately my two silkies are roos. But is okay I now trying to find a hen!

 

[chickenlover594]

These are my new white silkies. Hoping that at least one is a hen!!!!

 

[chickenlover594]

This maybe a hen. Time will tell

Cheeka you sure do have a beauty like my Daisy. Unfortunately, Daisy is Camera shy when with Russell...her man. (Russell Crow lol)

Madforchickn,

!

I should leave the sexing attempts to the more confident... Silkies are tough! but I will give you my opinion... the first has a broad comb, certainly more noticeable that the comb on my Silkie who is a bit older... so I would guess male. the second, female...? maybe?

they sure are pretty!
