Silkies

Ok this is my last silkie. Need help with it. This is the non bearded one above. Was suspecting Pullet. However it has some pretty big wattles at this point so I’m second guessing. What do y’all think? @Rhodebar Lover and @Obsessed With Silkies

I forgot to mention. It’s 18 weeks this week.

Looks like a pullet to me then!

Thank you. I’m really hoping it is. I would like to have at least 1 of my 3 to be.

I'm not 100% sure on this one but so far looking like a pullet. Post updates and pics!

The little non bearded buff looks like a pullet to me too.

I wouldn't let the wattles worry you too much. With non bearded girls with modified rose combs it's not uncommon for the wattles to be a little larger.

Thank you guys!

So I have one I’m still on the fence about. It is 17 weeks this week. I was thinking it was a Pullet but the past little bit I have suspected it’s a cockerel. No crows from it yet where my black silkie started crowing at around 11 weeks. What do you guys think? Looking at the pics I took I’d say with about 100% certainty it’s a cockerel but I’d rather hear it from more of the knowledgeable folks.View attachment 3168315View attachment 3168316View attachment 3168317View attachment 3168318

Thought I would update. Much to my surprise this ended up being a Pullet. Got our first egg from her about an hour or so ago. Thought I would update you guys.
