Silkies gender ? approx 12 weeks old

[tworedwellies]

Another round of Silkie sex guessing, please!
We also had a gorgeous white one, but he crowed at about 2.5 months and luckily had a friend take him! We are of course hoping the rest are girls...

#1- my guess is girl although her comb is a bit wider than the others, but V shaped at top
#2- very independent, the runt of the group, the comb was more V shaped top but now not sure... possible roo?
#3- tall like a roo, but narrow comb & acts like a hen

Thanks in advance!

#1 is probably a hen.
#2 is probably a rooster?
#3 is probably a hen?

#1 looks to be a pullet
#2 leaning cockerel
#3 likely cockerel, because I see some pink in those developing wattles despite the fibromelanism

My guess:

1: pullet
2: cockerel
3: pullet

Unsure, but:
#1 seems pullet
#2 could be pullet? since you said runt of the group, comb seems flat, posture is more squat-like/closer to ground... how does this one usually stand?
#3 seems cockerel, based on wattle size and red color, more "messy" crest, and more upright stance

Do you have a photo of all three together for size comparison?

Just wanted to update for anyone else debating their Silkie’s gender! Don’t judge by the size of their wattles

Our black Silkie (#3) was very surprisingly the first to lay an egg (yesterday).. she’s about 6 months in age. And look at the size of those wattles!! I really thought she’d be crowing soon.
