I think Eclipse's bald spot will someday be a small crest. I forgot, but my first silkie didn't have a crest or a head puff until it was alot older.

Thanks for the tag! Still thinking Eclipse is a boy and Pebbles is a girl. I'm really not sure about Nutmeg but I'll be positive and say girl!

I'm unsure about Eclipse still as well. First I thought boy, then girl, now I'm not really leaning either way. :lol:

Nutmeg does have a little comb but I'm continuing with my guess of pullet for now.

Pebbles definitely looks the most feminine to me still.

They are now old enough posture/build may be a clue along with the combs.

I'm thinking all pullets at this stage though I'm no good at telling.. my 4 month old I'm still in denial about being a boy! ..though I'm coming to terms with the thought of it ..

He still acts like a pullet and the roosters treat him as one too. Behaviour is not a good indicator I now know.

Thanks! I’ll start trying to post full body pictures as well.

I’m so sorry I forgot to update this week! I can try to do it tomorrow. I’ve been a huge mess lately with some hard things at home, but hopefully I’ll get back on track. Please forgive me!
