Silkies. Any guesses?

[Tylerg1979]

I agree with this.
While I have had pullets with very wide combs at this age, they were not raised and were still flat. I never go by comb width like some people do, but the appearance of raised ridges is usually a sign of a cockerel.

What about the original posters three silkies? Do you agree with all three cockerels?

I am confused? I thought we were talking about the original three birds? That’s why it’s kind of confusing sometimes when other people post their photos in somebody’s thread!
@ChickenWhisperer101, Popcorn looks like a cockerel.
Willow a pullet
On the fence with Marshmellow, but leaning pullet.
Please take all of these with a grain of salt as these birds are still too young to be certain in my opinion.
@Tylerg1979 I feel your birds are too young to comment on! You’re just going to have to wait and see!

I am sorry to all, I will be patient next time and not hijack. My apologies again.

No apologies needed! people do it all the time.
I understand you are so eager to find out the gender of your Silkies! With my first batch of Silkies I ended up sending in a feather sample of each for DNA testing as I could not stand the suspense of waiting. Ended up with three cockerels and three pullets and was able to rehome two of the cockerels to a local breeder who was looking for new boys to add to his bloodlines.

@PippinTheChicken, this was about 2 weeks ago. I can try to get more pictures tomorrow or Monday if needed.

Willow and marshmallow have pretty flat combs and popcorn has what looks like the start of a walnut comb.

 

[PippinTheChicken]

Hi. I am here!

 

[PippinTheChicken]

I can't load the pics now. Have bad internet...
I'll look at them later.
I need close ups of face and tails.
