It may be too early to tell (the breeder told me the only reliable way to sex a silkie was when they layed or crowed!!) but my daughter really wants to know the sex of her 'babies'. Sorry about the picture quality, they were the best I could get.

1. Vulture Bird (A.K.A Pompom) 6 weeks old - Araucana/Silkie Cross
2. Spice 6 week old silkie
3. Zoe 5 week old silkie
4. Pixie 6 week old silkie

Silkies are tricky breeds to sex, but as of right now I'd say:
1. pullet
2. pullet
3. pullet
4. cockerel
If you post updated pics in a couple of weeks when they are fully feathered out, I could give you more accurate guesses on their gender. More detailed pics of Spice and Zoe's combs would help too. Very cute birds.
