What age can silkies be sexed?

[Amandahein]

I ha e 3 1 week old silkies. At what age will their genders start being noticeable?

Tell me when you find out! Took 13 months for my roos to decide they were roos....

I believe you can tell with most silkies at around 12 weeks

On all of my non bearded hatchery chicks, I had a general idea of who were roosters by 6 to 8 weeks and was fairly certain by about 10.
Bearded more show quality stock is harder to tell I believe. I have heard with those you cant tell until they lay and egg or crow!
