What gender are my silikies?

[brandyLdunbar]

These are my two silkies I bought as straight run bantams and now wondering how to tell what gender they are..."It would seem one is a Roo and the other a hen since they look different but I really have no idea which one is what!

I agree, a rooster and a hen. It can be hard to tell with silkies, as the larger varities of silkies tend to have larger combs and wattles in both roosters and hens, while smaller varieties have nearly no comb or wattles in hens.

I hope this helps!

Agreed; the bird on the left is a cockerel. The bird on the right is a pullet.
