silkie sexing

[Veer67]

Thanks for your help guys. I am thinking the partridge is also a roo, as its comb looks a lot like the gray though not as big. The white has the widest comb!

Ah yes, he is a rooster too.

Roo or hen? 2 months old exactly

To me, it looks like this one is holding its tail up a little high like a roo would and the comb is a bit large for the age, so it could be a roo. Too early to be 100% sure though.

Here is a few pics of my other silkie. Also 2 months old

This bird is so cute! Its tail is down more like a hen would have but it still has a larger comb. Sorry, too early to tell. Did you trim the feet feathers? Just noticed in the bottom pic it looks like it has no feathers on the feet.

Is this a girl or a boy?

Edit: Forgot to add, it is 4 months of age. Hatched on 1/10/14

I'd say it is probably a pullet. Tail is down, no long hackle feathers, the comb is small but is a little red looking (maybe it is just the lighting though).

Two months old. Pic 1 and 2 are same splash chick What do you all think these might be...we are leaning toward pullets...?

I'd guess these are both pullets as the stance is more like a hen and I don't see a pronounced comb.

I have 3 silkies I need help with-- The white one is about 7-months old (according to the person I purchased from) and the 2 black are the same age-- about 2-months old now.

All of these silkies look like rooster to me. Their combs all seem very high up and bumpy.

Your white Silkie is definitely a rooster. Could you get some closer pictures of your black chicks though?

This may seem like a very silly question but I have a 14 week old silkie and I have no idea if it is male or female. It is mounting one of my older silkie hens but stays away from all my pekins and the other silkie. It is not crowing but is starting to make sounds like my 2 silkie hens. I'm so confused. Any thoughts as to what gender it might be or anything else I could look for?
