Silkies - Hatched 12/2/21

See attached. May still be too early., I’ve heard the silkies even hens like to squabble but ive never seen any of these stand up like my young 2 month old cocks did of various other breeds. Hatched out 11 , but lost 6 to predators , 1 wry neck and 1 drowned

Too early, update in a few weeks.
I'm guessing you have 2 pullets and 1 cockerel. (Just a guess, probably not very accurate.)

How many birds pictured? Hard to tell in photos?
Partridge is a pullet. Others need comb close ups.
May be too early though.

They all look like cockrols.

Sorry, just the white ones look like roosters. The grey looks like hen.

 

[Obsessed With Silkies]

Will need pictures of the combs close up to try to tell better

2 whites & a gray. 3 all together. All purebred silkies. No mutt of anything

The one you were calling gray looks partridge to me. Maybe needs a better photo? Close-up of combs on the two white ones would be helpful.

There the most skittish birds ive ever had. I can only get close to them at nite.

My blue hen had that appearance as a young pullet. I even noticed a gold sheen to her today. Now I'm curious to see how this one fills in. I love Partridge, but I only have a blue pair and a white pair. Silkies are just so flipping adorable!!!
