The possible gender of these 14 week old Silkies?

Cindy:


Jasmine:


Any ideas as of gender? They are both about 14 weeks old. Cindy both roos (it's pretty pathetic) and clucks
(that's impressive) and I've only heard Jasmine cluck (it's pretty good), not roo. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Cindy ( you may need to change the name, lol) looks like a rooster to me, and Jasmine, ( who is absolutely gorgeous!) looks like a hen!

 

[TheCrazyClucker]

Thank you for the response!
So....anymore guesses?

I agree, Cindy a roo, Jasmine a hen! I am 95% sure.

 

[Alex15]

I agree too! And Jasmine is such a lovely colour!

Question: What are you making your guesses on?

 

[Megan Amber]

I made my guess based on the difference in comb size.

I agree, I'm also going by comb size. I've found that the shape of the "afro" test doesn't work very well for hatchery quality birds. You will have a much better idea at 5 months when the rooster's comb gets redder (something that happens in hatchery birds).

My chicks are from a breeder, not a hatchery. Both are show quality, Cindy "Hercules" more so.

Hm, then they'll be even harder to sex! And we could be completely wrong as, if I remember correctly, comb size is not an accurate measure of sex in show quality Silkies.
