Are you saying this in regards to my posts?

Not sure if this comment was meant for my dark silkies, or the other post with white silkies.

You think they are ALL MALE?!?! If so, my husband is going to kill me! Lol
And I guess I need to do some extra studying of the silkie breed. I was thinking the combs on these were nearly invisible. Here's an extreme close up- it's kinda hard to tell, but their combs are almost completely level to their beaks... When checking them over, I couldn't feel ANYTHING (comb-wise) until the past couple of days.
I appreciate your input! Obviously, I have a lot to learn about these weirdos! Lol

To be honest I got them from a farm and didn't know the breed or sex (stupidly) of either. Any ideas what my other little white one could be, she if she is a she is completely smooth not like my silkie at all. Any help appreciated

The big white with improper comb is a cockerel.

What age do they start and do you know if Silkie cocks are loud? Thank you
