Silkies Gender Help?

[chainicin]

Hello, I have four silkie kids that are about 4 months old now. I am hoping there might be some help in sexing them. In the silly hope of them all being girls, i've named them Blair, Jo, Natalie, and Tootie. I've labeled the images with their names to make identifying them a little easier.

Thanks!

They look like my pullet silkies do, I cannot tell very well but do they seem to be developing any combs or wattles? Silkies can be very hard to tell.

There is NOTHING in terms of combs or wattles. A couple of them have some unusual feathers on their head that make their 'helmet' less uniform, but that's the only distinguishing thing happening.

I don't rely on their little "helmets" to tell me anything, all my girls have different sized "helmets".

If I was to guess I'd say Jo is a Cockerel but I'm just guessing..

It helps if the all the crest feathers are wet so that you can see the entire comb...but 4 months is still on the younger side for sexing Silkies.

of course he has to be since i can't have roosters and jo is my favorite by far.

Well keep waiting because I was guessing..Although it does look like a Cockerel to me..

My guess is all pullets. Lucky you!

They all look like pullets, but I just had my fluffiest, full fro, 6 mth old smallest pullet surprise me with a crow.... they still keep you guessing even when you think you are sure
