these Silkie's were supposed to be all female

[wolfwalker]

but it looks like there is at least 1 male, if not more out of these 6. And to top it off I have serious doubts they are pure silkie. The old timer I got these from was ill and getting rid of everything and had multiple rare breeds, as he called them, housed together. I do know they were malnourished as he was only giving them corn for feed. We have had them now for 9 weeks and they have recovered, though they will never be full size I think and except for 2 they can easily fit in the palm of my hand and I believe they are at least 6 months old by now. There are 2 whites and four buffs.

The two in the second picture and the one in the last picture look very suspicious to me.

The buff one in the second and fourth picture is a rooster. Same with the lighter colored one in the last. Some silkies aren’t as full puffballs like others. The white or grey one should be a hen.

Both whites look to be cockerels and at least 2 of the buffs. Better pics of each will help more. I’m so happy that you got them and taking care of them. They are precious.

The 4th and 5th pics look like cockerels to me

Thanks. Went into the coop before heading home to fill feeder and waterer and 2 of the buffs started to have a crowing competition. Dang Nab It. So all the males will need to be rehomed as they are way to little to go to the freezer farm and roosters are so not on the livestock list unless they are cornish X
