Silkies Rooster or Hens :/

[KrazyChickenLady65]

I have one that I am sure is a rooster he is so much bigger than the rest of them and crows LOUDLY. Not sure about the others anyone care to guess ? Thanks for any help.

These all look like hens. How old are they? The splash one in the third pic to the end looks a bit suspicious.

5 months

They are probably all girls, then. @LynnaePB might be able to spot any roos that I am missing, though.

@black_cat thanks for the ping!

I agree at 5 months all are looking like girls except the black with the gold leakage around the neck (that is the one confirmed male)?

The splash does have a comb that is a little large for a girl but otherwise looks very pullet like. I get some girls that have larger combs sometimes as well.

Whoops, I didn't even notice that one. No problem! You're definitely more qualified to judge silkies than I am.

Yes, that is the male. He is soooo much larger than the others also. Thank you so much

You better go get a lottery ticket! To have only one roo in a batch of silkies is lucky. Most everyone else ends up with all roos and one hen!
