I would say at least four months. I have an easier time sexing the better quality ones. You can always post pics and have people give opinions though.

What types of leg bands do you recommend for your silkies?

 

[zoellemae]

this is bunny, we thought he was a hen until he crowed. also i think is a mix...but still cute

this is my black silkie, also named silkie. we also got him as a hen, but he crowed. either way he is one of the sweetest chickens and my favorite <3

bunny doesn't look like a mix, she looks buff and just happens to have a single comb. it happens. I love that you can see your silkies eyes, they have such big pretty eyes.

We use the Bandettes that you open and wrap around the birds leg. I use size 11 because of their featherlegs and they will generally stay on from 2 months of age right up to a grown males.
