UPDATE on silkies I posted awhile back.

[Rbrown369]

I posted my 3 white silkies and everyone agreed 2 cockrels and one pullet is most likely.
I know ones a rooster cause he crowed lol.
the pullet I’m still sure is female. But I’m not sure of the other one. Probly a boy but I was told to update when older. Thank you!! I labeled them.

they had hair cuts yesterday so they can see.

Bumping this up in case someone out there can help sex them.

How old?
Silkies are notoriously difficult.

I'd guess with the two photos above they are cockerels but hard to say without seeing better photos.

They are about 11 week. The one crowed at 8 weeks that I labeled cockrel.

Is there a better angle I should take the pic?

Oh wow none of my roosters started crowing till 5 months... My silkie roo is 4 months and isn't even crowing yet lol. Def get better pictures, especially of the one you suspect is cockerel, the last *looks* cockerel, the one you suspect cockerel from side doesn't look like much comb.

Close up clear photos of the comb from the front and side; profile views; and full body shots from the side.

The one that crowed also has developed wattles and he always stood up really tall. And his comb was bigger. The mystery one doesn’t really look anything like him but his comb does have a bit of red and is a bit bigger than the pullet hers is totally flat and black. I’ll get a better pic.

In my experience with silkies, if I see any comb/wattle formation in the first few months usually it's a cockerel.
