I am a new member and am having trouble sexing my Silkies. Any help would be appreciated!

Ah yes. Silkies are one of the hardest breeds to sex, unfortunately. How old are yours? From the pic, the bird's comb is cut off so I can't quite see it, but I don't see anything else screaming rooster at the moment. You might want to post more pics here for more advice and input.

Good luck and, again, welcome!

Usually they cannot be sexed with accuracy before 4-5 mos. of age. and sometimes not till they crow or lay eggs. Even breeders have trouble figuring out who is who.
