Yet another Silkie Sexing Thread

[Mom 2em All]

It’s almost impossible to photograph them. Either they move or they are not in the right position with the sun
I think I know the answers but let’s hear what you think. 16 weeks old.
Multiple photos of the same two silkies.

Hi, thanks for replying on my thread I've come to see yours now. I must warn you, I'm utterly clueless newbie with chickens, so I'm just totally guessing here, but I think the white one is a girl and the black one is...........................a mistery wrapped in a riddle just like my grey

I reckon the black looks pretty rooster-y and the white is a hen.

I'm having trouble having only a third of each picture on some of them for some reason, but from what I can see, black is a cockerel, splash in a pullet.

Could be wrong but I really want to say both are pullets, I don't see why everyone is saying black is cockerel, that tail doesn't mean boy, I have a black silkie named squeaky that looks exactly like that and she is an egg laying hens, it just has to do with genetics some silkies just don't have as much fluff around their songs or tails (especially common from hatcheries) but I'm not seeing any streamers but it might just be hard to see in the picture, so I'm saying both pullets, I'm sorry if that ends up being wrong though

Thank you @Tofu the chicken !
and to everyone else... no no no I already gave away all my boys except four... which is too many but I love them. I can’t have a fifth. And I only have two silkies. insert whine.

maybe my lilroo knows something I dont know. He tried mating with both of them this evening.

 

[Chickinie]

I was thinking too because of the bright blue lobes that I can see in the pic.

Up close face pictures would help. One facing and one from the side.
