Updated pics - Silkie boy or girl? 14 weeks!

[Lucy_Dobinson]

Hi, what is his behaviour like and how he is around other birds? And does he stand in a particular way?

He/she seems to be the same as the other two in his coop, they are siblings and the other two are definitely girls. Only difference is he’s a bit bigger in the body than the other two

Seems to be rather divided! I sent off a couple of feathers to get him/her DNA sexed.. will post the results here in the next week!

My guess is Pullet, fingers crossed I'm right but you got a beautiful bird regardless. From my experience, Silkies are hard to sex. They're just so much fluff!

What a tie vote.

What makes you say that?

It has a large and wide comb and wattles for a 14 week old.

I’m on the fence with this one. Especially when compared to her brother. Could still be a pullet... definitely update us once you get results back.
For reference, here’s my paint silkie pullet at around 16 weeks; she had pretty much the same amount of development from 13 weeks onwards.

how did you go about getting the genetic testing done? I have two 1 week old chicks and I just cannot stand to wait and wonder!
