Silkie/SG Gender?

[AprilWC]

Any ideas on these two chicks? I've had them since November and I believe they're about 4-5 months old.

Chick 1: Silkie










Chick 2: Showgirl










*hoping for girls*

I say # 1 is boy #2 is girl!

Are you sure on the age? I wouldn't have guessed they were that old, they look more around 3 months old to me ?

If the 4-5 months old is correct then I am seeing 2 girls.

i'm thinking both cockerels as i think i see streamers but i could very well be wrong

My age estimation is based upon what the breeder said when I purchased them. They may very well be younger, they do look it don't they?

Well I will continue hoping they are girls. I am leaning toward the showgirl being a boy though because I've seen it use its feet to attack the other. I have never seen a hen do that before. But the silkie seems to have bumps where spurs may grow.

the SG I would definitely think even at 3 months old if it were a boy it would have wattle growth already. with it being an SG and no beard, the wattles coming in would be obvious. I am fairly sure thats a girl.

all my silkies have spur bumps, they get them around 2-3 months old, just a tiny bump almost reminds me of a pimple. lol And my silkies all chest bump and fight too, my hens are meaner than my roosters are sometimes!
