I think they're a little too young to sex. You should try back when they're 2-3 months old :/

This is Eden! My very first showgirl silkie whom I hatched with her siblings back in October. She is 16 weeks and 3 days old and wondering... what her gender is.. I know, I keep identifying Eden as a girl, in hopes. Her brother, April, started crowing back when they were around 5-7 weeks old.

Does Eden have a significantly smaller comb than April? If so, I would says Eden might be a pullet. I would try to judge by size of comb and behavior. I can't really see the comb too well in the photo. She looks cuddly

I got 2 silkies yesterday. I'm having a hard time sexing them. My silkie hen is showing aggression towards them. I'm not sure if it's because they're new or the sex. Help? Hens or roos?

They both look like boys to me.

Yes! It was considerably smaller than April's comb! So..

Please be a pullet, Eden.
And she is the cuddliest looking girl in my flock despite the lack of feathers! P: Well... Yami is a close second.. she is a tiny black frizzled silkie!

Here's my grey partridge. 5 months old. Has been known to crow, but hasn't for the last 6 days. Thoughts?

Both boys, sorry! Neck feathers, comb size, and body shape all are sayin' it.

If he crows, he's a boy. Why he's not crowing now... I dunno. Do you have another roo that may be dominant now? When my roos were together, only one crowed.

He was crowing when I was keeping him with two pullets, but now I've been keeping him inside as a house chicken, and he hasn't crowed. I know hens can crow sometimes, does he look like a cockeral?
