Here's an updated pic of Slimy Bob and Pretty Boy, my suspected Roos.




And of Booger, because I'm going to keep hoping until she crows...

its a bit hard to tell but I reckon the white one (your suspect rooster)

is a hen

I agree, I think the white is a pullet.

Pretty Boy (girl?!)



Here's all of them except for the black one, Nugget.





Hooray! Here's a few more pictures of the bunch. The Black one has a pretty big glob of a comb and the non-bearded splash is getting mulberry waddles.

Very nice looking silkies!
I am suspicious of Slimy Bob, in that one shot the comb appears very plump.
Pretty Boy and Booger seem female from the "hats" they wear.
Master P also makes me think female.
Those are my initial impressions, but I am no expert.

Thank you! We have been suspicious of Slimy Bob from day one. He was nearly twice the size of the others and he's always play fighting when the others want none of it. And although he's top chicken, he's always the last to get treats. He's very friendly and gentile when he eats out of our hand (not like the others!). I think he'll be a very good rooster.

I'm no good at Silkie sexing unless it's really obvious, which yours is not. She's really cute though! Is she a paint?
