Hello! I am a new backyard chicken owner with a flock of 7 chickens. We purchased them as chicks and have loved watching them grow. Four of our chickens were sexed as chicks but my 2 silkies and my sizzle were not and I am curious what people can tell me about them in terms of their gender and colour. Thanks!

This is April and she is about 10 weeks old.











Fluffy is about 11.5 weeks old and is a sizzle.










Lucy is the youngest at 9.5 weeks.

Fluffy looks like s/he has some big red comb and wattles there. So I'm going with Fluffy as the roo. I'm not good at sexing crested breeds so you will need other opinions! Good luck! They are adorable!
 
I have had my suspicions about Fluffy for awhile but she (I mean "he") is our only frizzled bird and one of our favorites! Plus, being new at this long along with what I have read about silkies being so difficult to sex, I was really hoping that I was wrong. We are not allowed cockerels due to city bylaws so I guess I had best start the search for a new home.

Thanks for your opinions and help!
