silkie chicks
I took the pics separately so I know each number is a diff chick. If anyone has gender guesses let me know. However, I've been looking at them for 4+ weeks now & still have no clue.

I noticed that a few have fuzz or stubble on the comb area. Does that mean anything?

I’m going to say 1&3 are Roos. 2 is a pullet.

#2 has a pretty pronounced comb already, so I’m afraid it may be a roo as well. Anything specific that makes you believe 1 & 3 are Roos as well? This is my first time with silkies this small, so not real sure what to look for.

I have always thought 1 & 3 we’re they’re always sparing and my 5 month old rooster doesn’t really care to much for them.... #2 is typically off by itself and always with my older rooster he will even peck at me when I go to pick her up so I kinda just assumed that meant she was a girl lol

The way they stand tells me they are Roos.

6 1/2 weeks silkies
I believe chicks a&b may be male. They just look prettier. Chick c is DD's fav, so I'm hoping it's a female.

We actually have 5 silkies. It's not the best pic, but the smaller one on the right is the only one I'm pretty sure is male. (He was chick #4 in my post which I quoted below. I think DD's fav was chick #5) His comb is very wide. Chick #b standing on the left and #a in back.

Two weeks ago they looked like this.

They all look like Roos to me but I’m no expert. If you could post a video of them playing that would help.

Only two photos I have from the breeder who said a few months old.

What do you think?
