Silkies pullet or roo

[Ellieschickies]

I adopted these 2 silkies at the weekend from a rescue centre and was told they had been vent sexed as females by the breeder. Does anyone have any other thoughts. I’m hoping for pullets as have been very unlucky and got carried away seeking these at the rescue centre.

They are both bantams and 10 weeks old

Can you get clear face pics? At least one (on the right in the pic of both together), if not both is a cockerel.

Cockerels.

Cockerels.

Yeah I was leaning cockerel on the second one as well as I think I see streamers on both. I just didn't wanna make the call without seeing the second comb

Yeah they are lovely but have both turned out to be boys! Managed to rehome the buff but struggling with the Araucana

yeah I was going to say the only one that really looks female potentially is the buff silkie.
Can you post pics of that Araucana? Should be super easy to re-home an actual lavender Araucana roo. Hell people would pay decent money for it.

Also where are you located? In the US an Auracana should be tufted and rumpless.

I’ve got myself in even more of a pickle then if the 2 cuckoo silkies turn out male. The Araucana isn’t that fussed about people so hard to get a picture of him on his own
