Young Silkies, roos or pullets?

[coberdor]

Hey guys, what do you think, roos or hens?

I have two young silkies that are shaping up differently than the others. This splash and blue both seem to be getting longer necks than the others of the same age. They are about 3 mos.

Both are roos, and I would love to have the second one.

Yes they look like roosters to me/

Both roo's see those long shiny feathers down the back of their necks. That is an indication in silkies that it is a roo. I have a young roo with hardly any comb or wattles belived to be a girl but those same type of feathering gives him away ALL roo.

Yep definitely 2 roo's

Thanks a bunch everybody. O.K. Now what to do with 3 roos in my small flock? I have just 9 young pullets.

Hey Kentucky Silkies, I emailed you. Let me know.
