Hello, this is a question for fun. I know silkies are hard to tell gender young and I have 3 hoping to get a hen. I have my guesses but I wanted to see what others think. I have a black, showgirl, and grey. What are your guesses?

They are so cute!! Don’t take this as being accurate since they are so young but I would suspect from comb size/shape that the black and gray may be boys, and the showgirl may be a girl.

I usually try to guess on my chicks around the same age, based on comb size and shape. I would say usually it’s correct around 75% of the time, but sometimes they still surprise me.
