Three Silkies only one looks Different!

[NuggetMama]

So I have three silkies that someone said was dna tested as all males (I have not heard from her since I got them…). Out of the three I have only one has pronounced wattles and a comb. Is that normal in their breed?

They are all six almost seven weeks old and I know from reading threads on here they are basically impossible to sex!

This is Lemon, he also has extremely blue ears!

This is Potato

Last but not least this is Potata!

Potato and Potata are both shaped like little pears while Lemon is not pear shaped and looks rough because he is getting in more feathers haha but is top chick !

Could Lemon be a cross breed that I have to watch closer?

They're all crossbreed and look to be cockerels :/

They're all crossbreed.

Why do you say this?

Maybe crossbred isnt the right twrm but they dont look pure to me. Light skin, lack of fluffiness, and they have markings not typical to silkies

oooooooooh okay. I was given them when they were 3 weeks old. So bachelor pad for them it is!

Will I be able to tell what they were crossed with when they get older ? Also will they remain tiny and semi floofy or am I going to have to worry of a sudden growth spurt .-. ?

They're adorable.

Thank you! I love them! My daughter wanted Silkies so bad because everything she read said that they are gentle and cuddly. (We know there is always an exception)

We have had some meanie roosters we have had to eat so she was hoping they would be different because of what she read.

They look like pretty typical hatchery quality silkies, not cross breeds. Potata could be a pullet.

I would be happy if Potata was a pullet. LOL I Love cuddling that little spud baby. He/She has such a sweet disposition. I was told that Potata hated to be handled and was a very skittish little thing while the other two were confident. Which after reading how chicks who are confident are normally the ones that are male.
