I am asking this for a friend of mine. I sold him three silkies straight run at 4 weeks old. They are now almost 9 weeks old. I believe all three are pullets. I am almost certain, but I want to give him a few second opinions.

I have four of my own (same age) and I can tell the 2 boys apart from the two girls based on crest shape alone. It's pretty obvious at this age for mine anyway.

Let me know any opinions so I can pass them on.





 
I am by no means a silkie expert -my two "girls" are now crowing

but you asked for opinions and mine is that the bird in the third pic looks kind of rooish to me.

That would have been the only one I was iffy on as well :) Thanks. Their father has a very slicked back crest, so I would be shocked to see the kids have anything less. My boys both have hairdos slicked back.

White one in left is one of my cockerels. Same father, different mother. Same age.
