Hey there!
I purchased this little cutie yesterday, and was told it was about 3-4 days old. Very sweet, sizzle silkie that really enjoys attention. It’s definitely the right size, but I’m impressed by its feather growth! Is it pretty common for some chicks to have as much growth as this?
As...
Hi all!
First time urban chicken owner here. I am not allowed to keep roosters so if anyone has any thoughts on whether my chickies are roos or pullets I would be so grateful! I know silkies are notoriously tricky to sex, but just getting an idea will be super helpful. :)
I raised them since...
Number one
Number 2 (99 percent sure Tina here is a Rooster)
Number 3- also thinking rooster
Number 4 (Tofus face is hardly visible lol I REALLY HOPE she’s a she)
number 5 and the last-
Hi! I hope ya’ll aren’t tired of silkie genders yet haha. This is my first and only silkie, so I’m not super familiar with them other than what I’ve read here. I know that they’re difficult to sex & I likely won’t find out until crowing/egg laying. I don’t need to find out now, but I’m just...
Any ideas?
The black one is smaller and loves to be under the other 2 lol
Don't mind my Ee roo photo bombing lol
No one has raspberries or wattles yet from what I can tell. No crows or eggs but the grey one is chatty.
I just bought these adorable four silkies from a local breeder that are about 4 1/2 months. She thinks they are all hens, but wasn't positive about the white paint or black/grey ones. As you can see they are all imperfect, which is why she was selling them, the buff is about a third the size of...
Okay Ladies & Gentlemen, we are going to play a game of Sex my Silkies!
I have looked at so many threads with Silkie sexing, and am still STUMPED.
So, if you're bored, and want to throw out some input, please DO! :):wee
This one hatched April 3rd (just over 3 months old, or 14 weeks old)...
I have 4 adorable silkie babes and was wondering what colors they are and also (if it isn’t too early) their sex.
#1 Garbanzo. I’m pretty sure he’s a boy but also 🤷♀️
#2 Waffle. Who is probably also a boy because he’s the sweetest and most curious.
#3 Maple. (
#4 Fern

Hi everybody!
When I first got my silkie chicks I searched for everything about them, especially about sexing them, as I had heard that silkies are very hard to sex. Surprisingly, once I tried it, it didn't seem that hard.
Searching around, I found that there are no articles on how to sex...
Hi! We were really hoping for a hen when we got our Silkie, but as Dolly is getting older, it is seeming she may actually be a rooster. Is about 12 weeks in age. Any thoughts??
Hello, I have now owned silkies for about four days! The one in the picture is probably about 7 weeks old. I know that the only way to truly find their gender is through DNA testing. I just want a basic idea on what you guys think this beautiful buff is. Thanks!:D
Hello! I am new to this site and these are my first silkie chicks, but I have been reading lots of things online about how it is difficult to tell their gender at a young age. I’m just curious if anyone on here thinks my black silkie will turn out to be a rooster, just based off of memory on how...
