Hey y'all. I thought I'd update on our chicklet. Any ideas on the sex, yet?

I'd guess boy, but it looks young.

I'm not sure what gender, but it looks either black or dark blue.

It does look really small for a 3 month old! I have one of those too, except she's almost 6 months old. Her momma hen still treats her like a baby, its the cutest thing. Her mom was in the nest box laying an egg this morning, and tiny was in there with her "practicing"

I have 5 frizzled silkies. They are 2 months old.what do you think?

I am pretty sure Chandler is a girl.

Derpy is the biggest. I think it's a boy.

Clare I think is a boy too. It has a little bit of red growing in the hackles and crest.

Sentinel used to be the most friendly bird but has recently become standoffish. Except that she looks and acts more like a girl.

Runt is now the second largest bird. I'm thinking boy.

I have two silkies 12 weeks old. I need help. I think the darker one is female and the lighter one is a male. Help!
Here is the one I think is male:

From the side:

Them together:

The darker one who I think is female is friendlier though but has no waddle or comb, it is also bigger than the male looking one. No eggs or crowing yet.

I am sorry, they are four months old not three.
