Silkie thread!

[Brunsy26]

So about a two or three months ago I went to TSC and bought two little silkie chicks. The only reason I did this was because there's no one very close to me that breeds them. One is feathered really good and one have little to no feathers on it's legs! Hatchery bird lol quantity over quality but they're just pets! Anyone tell me if they think ones a pullet or roo? Just throw an educated guess at me! Here's the first

And here's the second

Love love love all these Silkys. Jaffa is my favorite. I've a little chick about 4 weeks old. Was all grey when it hatched. But now it's getting feathers that are coming in white. The wing feathers are grey & white, and there is some grey in it's little bitty tail fluff. Don't have a picture, but does anyone think it could be a Splash? I have 3 splash hens, white, black & blue hens. I have a white roo, a white Showgirl roo, and a black rôo w/gold leakage.

I think you have two hens. I could be wrong but that my opinion.

Hoping for some sexing opinions on my two 14 week olds!! I haven't seen any sign of a comb yet and don't think I see streamers. The blue one has a crazy crest and it is impossible to get a good front shot. Anyone able to venture an opinion?

I'm thinking pullet for the white one. Cant give you an answer for the blue sorry, I have a blue silky that has me confused too. Also, mine is not bearded. I'm thinking mine is a cockerel just because I see some color coming in on his comb. Try taking a pic of it. I have to prop up my tablet, put it on a timer, and just have a mini photoshoot with my birds, believe me I know all about them moving around. Heres a pic of them eating, you can clearly see a comb between the two, my girl grew a bigger crest first. Again mine are non bearded. Also if more people vote for pullet on the white, compare both of the combs, maybe youll see a color change. Hope you get an answer for your cute birds.

Thanks! I can't find a comb on the blue one. Here is a front shot - note the bad haircut I had to give it so it could see better. No comb to be found so far but the crest poof is out of control on this one!

Yours both look like pullets to me.
