i need help sexing my silkie. i got him/her as a day-old chick. i'm guessing it was about 2 -3 months ago??? almost full grown in size, may still be growing in hackle feathers & tail feathers...? all my others were sexed as girls, and are other breeds. it is late enough on that i can tell the other breeds were sexed correctly. this one came un-sexed, and is my only silkie, so i have nothing to compare him/ her to. i have seen many helpful videos & pictures that distinguish very clearly for adult mature silkies. however, have found no such luck on comparison pictures for silkies this young.

The only way to tell if it’s a male is by looking at the tip of its head. At two months he should have a walnut growing and the wattles should be some what visible as well. Yours looks like it could be a hen since the feathers from its tail are more silky.
