Okay Ladies & Gentlemen, we are going to play a game of Sex my Silkies!
I have looked at so many threads with Silkie sexing, and am still STUMPED.
So, if you're bored, and want to throw out some input, please DO! :):wee

This one hatched April 3rd (just over 3 months old, or 14 weeks old)

This one was hatched the same day, April 3rd. Just over 3 months/14 weeks old

Now, these will be fun, because I know it is WAY too early to tell, as they're only 9 weeks old.

I'm hoping pullet

Assuming cockerel, because the comb/wattles has just started to pop.

I'm thinking cockerel in the front

I always thought this one was a cockerel, just based on the size compared to the rest. It was always bigger. It was very chipmunk striped, blueish, as a chick.

I appreciate all input. Thank you in advance!
 
I’m too new to offer any help, but I came in here hoping for cute Silkie pictures and you didn’t disappoint!! Holy darling!!
That last little guy does seem to have a “roosterly” stance, doesn’t he?

I’m curious to see what experienced folks say! I’d probably be clueless until they laid an egg.:lol:
 
Both number one and number two look like cockerels. I’m more confident on number one than two. Can’t tell the third one the fourth one hesitantly say pullet. Not sure about fifth or sixth or group of three. The last one though looks a lot like a pullet. I have some pics of a month-ish old silkie hen and rooster and several pictures of two to four month old cockerels.
