Hello!
No I'm not going to do that, sorry. As I have already looked at their combs, the one who I think is a cockerol has a fairly flat comb with little bumps, while the others have completely flat combs. Don't forget these birds come from show quality lines, so even the cockerel won't develop a huge comb, like pet quality birds would. Usually the crest says it all, with this quality of silkie.

Thanks for your votes!
 
Could you get some pictures of the combs? I understand about your Silkies combs, but sometimes it's nice to just see, to make sure! Because roosters are going to have larger combs than a hen, even if they don't get large. Thanks!
 
Yes it is True some hens will get a larger comb, but usually the roosters have a much bigger one. Any more thoughts on the sexes of my silkies???

Thanks!
