silkie sexing

[ashtree]

That is what I was thinking as well. I was hoping for a pullet, but live in the country so no reason I can't have a roo, I guess!

Perfect he's beautiful

For now I think they both look like pullets. Streamers should be developing by now and I don't see any. Also most silkie roos, not necessarily SQ, will have a larger comb by now.

Thank you. I sure hope they are girls

More pics of mine,they are at least 2 months old,if not 3. Cant keep up with all the different dates,I have more pics posted a few pages back. I suspect this one is a roo,he is much bigger and more brave,also has a bigger waddle/comb. This on I think may be a hen,she is shy and small.

The first silkie is a roo and the second one I can't really see but it kinda looks like another roo

I love everyone's pictures! Silkies are very hard to tell their genders.

I have 2 silkies that are 4 months old and I cant tell if they are male or female
I believe I have one male and one female

I know silkies are hard but I have one splash from papa brooder I'm hoping is a pullet. It's 7.5 weeks and rather skittish but was raised by my broody so I'm not surprised with that.
There is no noticeable comb yet.
Any opinions...pullet or roo???

Oh I hope so! My daughter is strongly hoping for a pullet. She wanted a silkie so badly, we got some fertile eggs and this is the only one we got to hatch. Adorable little thing, so hopefully we get to keep "her?"

Very cute, but a little early to sex. Crossing fingers for a hen.
