Yes, they are chickens, silkie is a breed. The point is to have fun and look for any difference that might make you lean one way or the other. The point is to maybe learn these differences and be able to sex them at an earlier age.
There isn't any reliable way to sex silkies this young except by vent sexing. You can always guess, but it would be just that, a guess. And if you do that, you might just start thinking one is a certain gender, and then it isn't and you get disappointed.Yes, they are chickens, silkie is a breed.

But it’s my disappointment, (if any), no one else’s. no one is asking you to participate, I’m doing this for me and anybody else who would like to have fun guessing. I’m looking at the comb, the way they stand, etc. Just because you can’t sex them now, doesn’t mean we can’t have fun and try to learn. Why do you want to be such a Debbie Downer? I have said from the start that it was a guessing game.
..I definitely will be culling my Cockerels..
Why can’t anyone just have fun guessing.? I have said over and over that it’s a guessing game. I am keeping them all. I want other Roos to breed with. If you don’t want to GUESS, then don’t. Those who do wanna GUESS, have fun.Hello...Definitely too young and I'm sure you will be changing your mind about keeping them all if all Cockerels..
When i first got on this thread, i didn't pay attention to the title, because a lot of people name their threads that, and say, "do you want to guess". This section/forum is for people wanting to know the breed or sex of their bird. If you want to make a game out of it, you could try posting in the 'Games' section.

Please don't feel otherwise. Though technically a game, I still think it applies to the present section.
Why not guess and enjoy oneself?
