silkie sexing

[jesmtz]

My silkies are 4-5 months old according to the lady I got them from . I think I have a male and female? In both pictures the one I think is a roo is on the right and the pullet on left?

I think you are right.

Does anyone have any guesses regarding this 3 month old (hatched 5/28) Silkie? This is the only Silkie that hatched and only the second one I've ever raised. It has been fairly slow feathering. It has only started getting a crest within the last week or so.

mmmm, silkie sexing is almost hilarious! There are many more experienced than me, but I'm hazarding a guess - mainly because I have 2 white 6 week silkies and am going back and forth on gender daily 

1 pullet - stance, don't know about that pouf though?
2 cockerel - pouf flows backwards, stance, wide comb
3 cockerel - pouf flows backward and looks like there's streamers
4 pullet: comb size and stance
5 no idea - looks like a wide comb and is slow to feather out, so maybe cockerel??

looking forward to seeing what others say, and what you discover you actually have, and   !!

I have to disagree about 3. I think it could really go either way. However, the comb is quite wide.

This is a 4 month old splash silkie. I tried feather sexing him when he was a chick and it seemed as though he were male. He is a lot smaller than my 2 other silkies from the same batch. Thanks for any help!

think he's a boy too

I think cockerel: wattles, swept back hair and wide comb. Looks very sweet.

Thank you. I am really hoping you are right. We lost our much loved Silkie rooster about a month ago. Our Silkie hens miss him.
