Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[ForTheLoveOfSilkies]

I'm not sure about this one... Looks like a girl, about 5 months old. Hatched 5th October.
Named Skit/z - super skittish, won't come near me, bolts away like I'm a monster going to eat him/her.
Hard to get pics coz Skit runs away, but I can try get more later today.. I think girl .. but that would mean all 5 I had around this hatch time (between 2 broodies) are all pullets so that's impossible! What do you guys think?

More pics... Might have to zoom in, Skitz will not allow me near him/her.. maybe if a girl when she starts laying will calm down a little otherwise I'll sell her, I don't want skittish genes in my flock. Although I do want more clean face Silkies as they are better at seeing for predators when foraging.

I think female... itty-bitty non existent wattles.. female stance when not looking for hawks. i was going to post mine, who is a month behind yours, to see if you guys thought he might be a she.. but compared to yours, i think Barney is a boy *sigh*.

And i think its totally possible to have all females! I had all females in my first two batches! Had too many to keep in my house!

not impossible. I hatched 8 girls (and wanted 2 cockerels at least).
