It would be better if you posted side shots of your new birds. All of them mature at different rates. I've got one I knew was a male at 1 month and I have an odd color showing up in my whites that if the bird is the gray color will be male. But I've had them keep me guessing for six months.

I hear that Robin!!! I have some that are 5-6 months old that I have charted since they were born trying to guess the sex. Every month, it has changed!!!! LOL

Here were my silkies at about 1 month... the white is a pullet and the cuckoo is a cockrel!

And heres the cockrel at about 2 monthes...

And finally here they are now at 11 monthes!

Hope this helps!!!

I think the biggest give away was their differences in crests. My pullet had a much rounder crest from the get go and evan's (the cockrel

) crest was more oblong...

Hi!
Here are my two silkies!
They were bought as blue silkies, straight run.
I think the one on the left is a cockerel, the one on the right a hen?
The one of the left has some funky coloration too, not sure what color he is? I havent been able to find any pictures of a silkie that look like that, the closest thing I found was partridge?
They are sweeties, and my kids have fallen in love They love to snuggle in the kids laps, or anywhere it seems!

kind of off topic but do any of you ship live chicks or hatching eggs from any white bearded silkies???
thanks,
Amanda
