Silky Roos?

[Aide]

I got them at an egg farm was told they would be laying in a couple weeks. It’s been a month Nothing yet. No crowing either. Sorry about the pictures. They’re the best i got. I was also told they were silky but they are the size of my Easter eggers. So maybe mixed

They look like cockerels to me, but how old are they?

They look like cockerels to me, too, especially the one on the left. Silkies don't lay too many eggs, but I'm surprised there is no crowing. Do you have another rooster around that might be inhibiting their crowing?

These look like large fowl Silkies. I am on the fence with both of them. They could be pullets. @MysteryChicken what do you think?

Yep, they appear to be so.

To be honest i don’t know. I was just told they would lay on a couple weeks. They were my first buy and i didn’t know what to ask.

"Silkie" can be the feather type (which they do have) or the specific breed. They do not look like good examples of purebred Silkies (breed), so yes they might be mixed, or they might be "purebred" Silkies from a hatchery that was careless with their breeding program.

The first is definitely a cockerel, the second I'm not quite sure.
