looks like all girls except for Curious George. is he bigger than the others? were did you get them?

i would keep an eye on mini though it looks like a pullet she does have some rooish looks to her. the hackle feathers are hard to tell on pics of silkies but on the roos they should be long slinder and pointed and the girls will not be long and slinder but the tips of the hens feathers should be round

Curious George is bigger. MaryJane, Shehuahua, and Darth Diva are little compared to the rest. Tweetheart is average, but smaller than some of the whites we have. Mini has always been tiny, We were worried at first because She/he was 1/2 the size of the others. Mini has seemed to catch up a bit but is still small. When I posted at 10 weeks someone asked if she was younger than the rest.

We got them from Cackle, ordered 15 and the sent 17, all but one made it. We had a runt that just did not thrive and died at a week old

from what i have read and talking to silkie owners the roos tend to be larger than the hens to a point and if mini is small then i would say that she is a she. just seen a hen at the fair that didnt have a "poof ball" on its head and compaired to the roos there the hens were all slightly smaller
