What Are My Silkies?

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

They are about a month old, took these pictures today. Can you help me out with their gender? Or is it too early to tell?



Cutie, White Silkie. ( I am trying to find another name for he/she, Cutie just does't fit. Any ideas? )

Bella, Buff Silkie.

Gracie, Partridge Silkie.

Gonna give this a try. I think Gracie is probably a cockerel and I know he/she is a buff and not a partridge. And I believe the other two are also cockerels. I usually stink at sexing them at this age but they are looking male to me.

The buff looks like a roo to me too...not sure about the white.

Gracie is a definite cockerel. Look at the wattles forming on him already. The other two are still not clear. I think you are right on Gracie being a Partridge too because the harder looking feathers have barring pattern on them. This is a pretty young age to try to accurately sex them though.

Wattles on a silkie are absolutely NO indication of gender. Comb size can be, but at this age they are really way too young to tell.

Gracie is a buff; not a partridge.

Gracie is a buff cockerel. The others are too young to sex at this point, although if I had to guess, I'd say Bella is also a cockerel.

All the combs are wide, and visible. i'm guessing all boys, sorry

 

[Minniechickmama]

I concede to the Silkie breeders. However, all of my boys have had wattles hanging at a first sign. Sonoran, you would know better than me. Thanks for stepping in.

They're all ROOSTERS?????? I already have 2 roo and only one Buff Silkie hen!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!
Well, I said Gracie was a partridge Silkie because when she was little I posted a picture of her and ya'll said it was a partridge ...?

Actually, I think I can see streamers on all of them...
