Any guesses on my 8 week silkies

??

@sbendorf Male, female, female, would be my guess

My gray one has a pronounced comb and the other 2 do not. Here is a pic of the comb a couple weeks back. It's about the same now. You think the comb growth on the white indicates a male?

Hi guys I have two frizzle/silkie 8 week olds. They are the same size, but one has a bulge on it's head the other has none. I'm guessing I have a male and a female, but just wanted to check with those who are much more knowledgeable. Thanks!

The smooth feathered one looks like a cockerel to me

X2 but they're still very young

@sbendorf Male, female, not sure-need a better pick is my guess.

I'm actually surprised about my white one. Would have figured my blue was a boy for sure. He has a more pronounced comb than the other 2. What is it about my white one out of curiosity. I was thinking the poof was nice and round.

The comb pic is from a couple weeks back but it's still about the same size.

Here is another pic of the partridge

@cochinfan05 Thinking cocks for both of them. Are they behaving the same?

The smooth bird behaves more like a hen. It hangs with the hens and doesn't challenge anyone to my knowledge. The little partridge is a loner and very outgoing. I saw him chest bumping a hatch mate the other day (another suspected roo)
