What gender is this Silkie & leghorn?

Btw, thanks for all of your input

One of the chicks that hatched that didn't make it, we thought was a black barred rock. So you very well may be accurate with your last post

Can anyone help with their genders?

Thanks

The silkie look's like a hen, leghorn no clue..
Here is our girl Cheryl, & oh is she one of our favorites!!

These are the 2 that we hatched. I can see the obvious difference. Thinking that they were a leghorn mix, we were kinda hoping that some how the one would still turn out to be a hen too. Haha. My son is going to be quite bummed when it starts to crow!

Haha! They could be twins! This is my youngest sons favorite chick. Thanks for your post!

As soon as he starts to crow I would put a no crow collar on. We do that for our cockerels, it's better than the other option. There are YouTube videos showing you how to do it and what it sounds like. The last cockerel, for at least 4-5 months could barely hear him crow. But then all the sudden he started to get a little hair down in that sack and you could tell he was trying..

They are both about 3 1/2 months.

At 3 1/2 months, the white bird is a cockerel as well. And donrae is right, with those red earlobes it's not a Leghorn, and it when looked at closely, it does appear to have ghost barring.

Thanks everyone for your help! I'm in the country, so I'm not bothered by the crowing. I only have 11 chickens & with 3 of them being boys, that's not a good thing for the girls. I'm going to have to get rid of 2 of the roosters. If I had a larger flock it would be different. Thanks again!!
