Hi everyone!

6-7 weeks ago I made an impulse buy at TSC 🤣
I couldn’t help myself and brought home 4 white silkie chicks. They were straight run.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone can see any early signs of what gender they are. I’m hoping for at least a girl. Here are my Silkies:

I do think youve got 3 boys, but silkies have walnut combs not single. I think yours might be mixed with something. The single comb is big for the age on 3 of them which is what is leading me to think boys. Normally, silkies are notoriously difficult to sex. Not until 12-15 weeks.

Thank you for your reply!

I’m hoping at least one is a pullet 🤞🏼🤞🏼
