Silkies

[chasethomas]

I picked up these two silkies at a local hatchery. I can't tell what gender they are, can anyone help me? They are 10 weeks old.

Chick number 1

Chick number 2

Then here is a picture of them together

They are too young to tell. Silkies are the hardest breed to tell whether they will be roosters or hens. For my silkies I had to wait until they crowed or layed an egg.

They are so cute though

Oh thanks! How long until that happened for you?

They were about 4 months when they crowed and 6 months when they first laid.
