Silkies when and how to tell apart

[pamperedpoultry]

I have a few silkies from 2 to almost 4 months old. I've never had silkies just got into them. How and when can you start telling the pullets from the roo's I think I know but wanted to make sure.

8-10 months is most common for reliably identifying gender. Can be a bit earlier or even later.

We have two silkies, I think one is a roo and one is a pullet, but my husband thinks they are both boys... I guess time will tell...
