Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[chickmamato7]

Thoughts on the sex of my 10-12 week old Silkies? These are the 3 I am still unsure of for various reasons: 1st one has a messy crest, 2nd has some golden brown leakage around neck, 3rd has some red showing when crest is pulled back

Not sure these will help much either.

Id still say girl, until you know for sure otherwise.

I think they look pretty girly. The last one MIGHT be male.. but nothing too obvious just yet.

Wow-- if you are correct, then I picked 3 out of 4 pullets from a breeder bin at 1 week old! The last one looks & acts so female that I am still leaning that way for her. I was blown away when I pulled her crest back & saw pink. Mentioned it to the breeder to get her thoughts and she still thinks it's a girl. Thanks for responding-- I can't stand the wait! It's killing me!!

I thought they all looked girlee too but I had taken a morphine where my spine implant that hasn't worked in 3 years has shifted and is hitting a nerve...so figured I'd wait to confirm with another lol!

I thought the same, but haven't done silkies long enough to know.

Meet Big Bird can anyone tell me if he/she is a pullet or a cockerel . I bought as a 4 month old pullet but as we know Silkies are hard to sex .

Idk if yall are like me or not...so tired of NO rain....always in forecast yet never delivered! My spine implant is hitting a nerve n causing more pain than normal so I need a distraction!
@LadiesAndJane and I are both stumped on Bluey...here's a video of her. She acts nothing like any roo I've ever had. She's 11 weeks old Satin blue mottled.
I know the comb is big but no other signs of roo - needs yalls professional advice!
Boy or girl?!

comb is screaming boy! in my experience pullets get red combs when they start laying, at 4-5 months, depends on breed.
