Blue Silkie genders

[BuffManM]

Hi there,

This is one for any silkie experts, or really anybody who might have an idea.

I recently purchased 6 blue silkies (16 weeks old) and was wondering if anybody could advise me of the genders. I have posted the pictures and labelled them 1-6.

Also as it’s my first time keeping silkies I was wondering do they also look 16 weeks old? They look pretty small to me but could be wrong.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.Thankyou

Age looks about right. Sexing silkies is tricky. If you can post close ups of each, full body side view (like my avatar photo) as well as head on of the face, showing any comb or wattle development, that would be helpful. If you can also post the photos straight that would make it easier for people to judge. They look beautiful! Congratulations.

Thank you for your reply. I didn’t really get a lot of time to take good photos of them tonight but I will do in the coming days and post them. Good news about the age though

You are welcome!
When you re-post new photos just post them in one of the threads that you made. It’s confusing when there are multiple threads with the same topic, photos and questions.

Crowing?

What do you mean by questioning crowing?

Sorry I didn’t mean to reply “crowing” hopefully Friday I’ll get some better pictures. I still haven’t a clue of genders :/
