Silver Grey Dorking / Buff Silkies

[CGilbert]

I have two Silver Grey Dorking / Buff Silkie mixes. What gender are these two? They are 5-6 weeks old.
Their names are Bonnie and Clyde because I had/have my guesses based on their personalities.

The one in front has a pink red comb already so I'm thinking that's a boy.

I agree; given the size and redness of its comb at only 5-6 weeks, I'm leaning toward cockerel on the front bird. I'm thinking pullet on the rear bird.

If you cross those chicks with one another, i would love to buy some chicks off of you next year. I like the silkied genes and the dorkings meat qualities make it a prized table bird. Thats a good mix you got there.

Thank you. I'll look into it, but Bonnie has not started laying yet. Here is a current pic of these two

Definitely a cockerel and a pullet. They are beautiful birds!

Yep, cockerel in front; pullet in rear.

Yes, they are a cockerel and a pullet. Clyde has already started crowing. He kind of has a funny crow, very scratchy throat sounding.
