Silkie/ smooth/ satin silkie gender?

[NikkiPike_84]

We acquired three silkies and it turns out two are cross with something and have smooth feathers. I am only planning on keeping one and can’t have a roo. I mnownsilkies are notoriously difficult but I was wondering thoughts? I have my own suspicions from researching them, but I’m not an expert! Thanks!

Too young to sex, but let me say... They are the cutest chicks ever. My Lord those faces.

How old are they?

The smooth feathered ones are satins. It’s way too young to sex them.

They are two weeks today I’m so excited to see how they feather out. I’m really hoping the one full silkie isn’t a roo!

Yes, two weeks is much too young to sex. Fingers crossed for pullets!

4 week photo update. We learned that two of our babies are silkie cross with d’uccle, he be the fancy hock feathers. Still no idea on genders though.

Still too young. Update pics in 6-8 weeks.

I’m leaning towards them all being roos though. My favorite is the smooth I’m holding in my hand. Her/ his name is Puddin’ and sings songs like I’ve never heard before. She/ he sounds like a robin chattering away. But that comb is turning purple at 5.5 weeks
The only pure bred silkie we got (Fern) stands so tall and has a very straight and pointy crest. And the largest of the three (Phoenix) Is the really dark faced smooth that is large, starts fights and has a deep raspy sounding chirp. We may be starting from scratch with a new group of three, but that little Puddin’ is gonna have me devastated if she’s a he!
