age?

Normally with silkies it can be tough to tell at such young ages. Both have large combs for their breed and age. The large combs are indicators of being males.

It's just a guess with silkies until they are a few months old or you get them DNA tested. Up to about 12 weeks you can be 50% right.

16 weeks about 80% right.
20 weeks should know for sure.

I've had them past four months old I thought were one sex and find out they're another.

A lot just wait to know for sure when they crow or lay an egg.

Please help me with the gender

I would assume bolth male due to the large comb. The first one looks just like my rooster when he was a baby so I’m pretty sure about that one!

This is a 6 week old silkie rooster (he is grown now so I’m positive)

Thanks everyone for your replys. I think I'm being a bit too hasty will check in again in a couple of months.

Yeah it’s super hard with silkies! For my silkies (I have had many) I usually have a 70-80 percent male rate. (As in if I get 10 7-8 are roosters).
