I have 5 silkie babies that are 3 months and am only sure that one is a Roo but 3 others have the lil bumps behind the 5th toe so am confused CreamPuff/ Roo Silver/? Salem/? Luna/? Shadow/?

I’m not sure. I think you need more chickens to be sure you have enough pullets!

Welcome to the flock!!!

Silkies are amoung the hardest breeds to sex, because of their feathers. The bump on the leg is just a spur bud. All chickens get them, the buds... Sometimes a female can have spurs, its not an exclusively male trait. I have a hen with spurs...

Umm, well, I’m usually pretty good at sexing silkies but OP - your pictures are blurry... can you try to get clear pictures of them, and their combs please? It’d be a lot easier that way.

Cute silkies, btw! And welcome to BYC!

As of now, I’m thinking Luna and Salem are the only boys. Salem is questionable, so post updated pictures as he grows please.
